Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Sat Feb 13 09:27:53 2010, in response to Re: No Future MN New Haven Line Service to Penn Station, posted by Olog-hai on Sat Feb 13 00:00:18 2010. I never said the M-8 would run on overhead to reach Penn, if the service was to become a reality!!! I clearly stated that if the M-8 were to be run into Penn, it would do so via LIRR-type overrunning third rail, and not 25Hz overhead, and contrary to what some say, and given I know persons who ran the M-7A test with the dual-capability third rail shoe, the test WAS SUCCESSFUL on BOTH third rails, with no considerable failures noted. And furthermore I never said the M-8 was indeed going to be equipped with the dual capability third rail shoe, but was planned to be equipped with such, if the service to Penn off the NH Line is ever actually implemented. And I am quite sure such a shoe will be tested at some point on an M-8. |
