Most manufacturing requires skilled workers. Machinists, electricians, technical people ... pays better than a college degree in retail and cube farms. After all, this is America and it's all about the dinero.The "elite" these days is called "associate" or "barista" ... doesn't pay as well as the trades. |

That is of course going to need to be accounted for. But again, when included in the economies of scale present in electrifying the entire East End the additional cost is fairly minor. They're already going to have to purchase the equipment, this would merely ensure it is somewhat better utilized. Besides, the studies out of Toronto, San Fran, and Denver (apologies, the other two appear to have been removed, I'll see if I can find them) clearly show that with rising fuel prices the commonly held belief that some extreme frequency (4 TPH or more) is required for the electrification to save money simply isn't true. |

Guess you didn't get the memo that CSX is now leasing POU-SDY to AmtrakWhy are you posting an article that's over four months out of date, and assuming that the lease went through? And it's funny that the state couldn't be reached for comment back then. I see no updates on this, nor lease details. I do believe Amtrak can now do whatever they want with the line, within reason You can bet that "within reason" does not include electrification, and at best would mean Class 6 track assuming that NYS pays for the signal upgrades. Still pipe-dreaming? |

It's done where it gives operational flexibility. The Euston-Watford DC line is kept DC even though the paralleling tracks are AC powered so tube trains can run on it. North London line used to have duplicate electrification before they got dual-capable Class 313.Although in the States, I can only think of PATH in the old days and the NYP area So you found two examples of two different railroads where one of the two has clearances too low for lowered pantographs (or overhead wires) while operating in tunnels. In the case of Amtrak and Metro-North on the Hudson Line, this would not give any particular operational flexiblity. "and MBTA has what to do with this?" An example of diesel operation under catenary Great; more apples/oranges. This was not being discussed here AFAICS. You'd need transformers too. Not just rectifiers. The cost of maintaining AC only equipment is not that different from AC/DC dual capable ones when compared to DC only equipment I would not think so. The AC/DC third-rail/catenary EMUs have a lot more physical equipment on them than your Arrow III. "Block length, remember? Average speed is doubled there versus what's intended for NYP-ALB, a regional-type operation" Huh? What that has to do with frequency of service? You're the one who brought up new-build HSR—something that's intended to host average speeds in the 145-mph range. That's an apples/oranges comparison with the Empire Service; you're not justifying (re)electrification on a traditional railroad with your fourteen trains unless you're going up to the 150-mph range at least and using tilt trains. |

Do you ever learn instead of just flapping your gumms????The M-8's can currently not run to NYP for two reasons. The M-8 can not run of 25 Hz, only 60 Hz. In NYP they would run of LIRR third rail, not Catenary. But currently two tracks of 1.5 miles between Gate and Harold do not have third rail or the power supply and only have 25 Hz catenary over them (un-usable by M-8) and yes this info has been posted several times. |

The M-8 will not run off Catenary when third rail is pressent.the cars can only be fed with one power source at any time.

Yes but they are now in control of regular maintenance and "upgrades" as the article says. The article mentions that CSX's primary concern is that their freight service (which runs mostly at night when there is maybe one passenger train) is unimpeded. Putting a wire over the tracks isn't going to cause any problems with that [on the CSX part]... the Metro North part might have an issue with those tunnels between Croton Harmon and Poughkeepsie, but hardly a show stopper. |

I don't know the exact measurement but the conductor rail on the right is of standard German/Swiss 15kV in this picture. There are installations in South Korea with 25kV conductor rail which look like about a foot from the ceiling too. Is the "12.5 kV - 12 inch gap" requirement US specific? I know that the UK has changed its gap requirement for 25kV in the eighties and raised the voltage of all 6.25kV AC lines around London. |

But entire conversation is moot as there is not even a foot of room in some stretches of park avenue tunnel and GCT complex.That answers my original question quoted below, thanks. That IS what I wanted to know. I wonder if an overhead conductor rail as used in Europe and the Far East could fit. |

The question here is also what is the ceiling made of. Is this just a plaster sub-ceiling? Those bolts look like thy pass right through it to something more substantial above it. Maybe it is just some insulating/soundproofing material.ROAR |
