There was a post here that showed Babylon to Montauk was the longest non-electrified segment so that is the furthest they ever had to go even if initially they wouldn't use that route. If they aren't thinking about the longest stretch they should be. |

While the discussion at hand was that the entire train, inclusive of propulsion, would run off the batteries, that is not what occurs on the B-787. Your post infers something else.

Amtrak does not allow cab cars in lead on third rail powered trains. due to gaps in NYP so no on LIRR and if at anytime MN running into NYP they must have dual mode on each end of train.overhead powered trains do not have large gaps in power and are not affected by rule. |

You’re completely ignoring the ecological mess from all the wasted energy. Either you use fossil fuels to make that electricity, or use fossil fuels to produce the hydrogen (which is how most hydrogen gas is currently produced), or you end up with radioäctive waste from the nuclear reactors you’d have to build. |

Yes, but the world is developing technologies that can generate electricity from sunlight really, really cheaply, but not on demand.Therefore storage becomes really critical. And all the storage solutions (Li batteries, pumped storage reservoirs, hydrogen, flow batteries) still have their issues. Let's figure out which storage solutions are best; maybe different ones for different applications. |

My understanding is H is more volatile, for example if you were to drop a match in Jet Fuel or Kerosene it wouldn't light. Hydrogen will be more easily ignited.If for example in a collision a fuel tank were breached the main concern is environmental clean up, the fuel being less easily ignited. Hydrogen loves igniting in confined spaces, so that's a bit different. In this case handling it badly would be putting it in the environment in which it likes to explode. |

Thats the way its been done on the LIRR for decades. When an electric train crapped out, (either LIRR or Amtrak) in the east river tunnel, there were two switchers with compatible couplers that would be able to drag anything out of there into daylight. IIRC, that job used to be called "Harold Protect" since they were parked near Harold Tower in Sunnyside waiting for orders to "saddle up!" |

Electrification is expensive, but not "very" if the demand is there. How much did it cost to electrify from White Plains to Southeast and from Hicksville to Ronkonkoma? It was actually way cheaper even in 2021 dollars than one might expect, e.g. in 2021 dollars, the 1987 electrification to Ronkonkoma works out to about $18 million per mile. |

"...if the demand is there"Thats the key right there. But it should be taken on a case by case basis. I rode the Upper Hudson line for @30 years. All the money that was poured into that line resulted in thru the roof ridership increases. With the Genesis engines & the Shoreliner coaches replacing SPVs & tired 2nd hand steam heated coaches coupled with more thru trains and a +90% on time performance, there is no demand for 3d rail extention. Now on the Pt Jefferson line, if only the LIRR went for Genesis engines with Shoreliner coaches instead of the junk they run there now, maybe they too would not care about a 3d rail extention. |

Yes, there were some difficulties getting a compliant diesel for a rescue. The railroad was toying with the idea of a battery loco for the rescue. So that's one of the reasons why Siemens needs to get this right. |

With the Genesis engines & the Shoreliner coaches replacing SPVs & tired 2nd hand steam heated coaches coupled with more thru trains and a +90% on time performance, there is no demand for 3d rail extentionFalse equivalence. And besides, the service started with Shoreliners being hauled by doubleheaded FL9s and single-unit FL9ACs; also not likely that the P32AC-DMs are ever going to have a MDBF that's longer than any EMU; so an investment of maybe $720 million for 40 miles of third rail would not be worth it, including increases in acceleration? How about eliminating the last two late-night Poughkeepsie-Croton shuttle trains? 30 trains a day in each direction during weekdays indicates demand being there. And especially for increases in average speed. |

"Shoreliners being hauled by doubleheaded FL9s and single-unit FL9ACs;"While still maintaining a +90% on time performance. When MN got a hold of the old FL-9s, they rebuilt them with HEP units & got many more good years out of them, but rarely if ever ran on 3d rail. "...including increases in acceleration?" Not noticed, therefore not missed. "not likely that the P32AC-DMs are ever going to have a MDBF that's longer than any EMU" True, but each EMU is considered an electric locomotive, thus subject to more inspections & FRA scrutiny. That equates to a major cost of labor factor considering the # of EMUs needed to maintain the service that shoreliners now provide, thus a hit on the overall bottom line. |

Not noticed, therefore not missedNonsequitur. There are plenty of electrified lines to compare in order to extrapolate what would be gained. And the high platforms are already built, although (to my mind) it's a shame that the EMUs were not built with the automatic trapdoors that the turbine trains on the LIRR had. each EMU is considered an electric locomotive, thus subject to more inspections & FRA scrutiny. That equates to a major cost of labor factor considering the # of EMUs needed to maintain the service that shoreliners now provide, thus a hit on the overall bottom line Cab cars are considered locomotives too by the FRA. Sometimes more than one cab car would be on a push-pull diesel train, requiring FRA inspection either way in spite of not being in use. And there is plenty either way to offset any "hit" the bottom line might take in theory. Even number of EMUs. Anyhow, Metro-North is still considering all-electric push-pulls, since we come to that. |

Done properly... it can still get close to the same range in the cold. And they don’t expect these M7s to remain off line anywhere near as long.Currently the estimated minimum life span of a new Tesla battery is eight years. Tesla says you should get about 500,000 miles from it. And they’re supposedly working on a million mile battery. |

LIRR runs far longer MU consists than MNRR does. Most NYPS trains are 10 to 12 cars. Most Huntington trains connect with a Port Jeff train in one direction or the other. Then their MUs cycle on all the branches all week. It would make no sense to have all these Huntington trains, which are all locals, be loco-hauled trains. The entire Huntington / Port Jeff service pattern looks nothing like the Hudson Line. Poughkeepsie trains are not the Croton-Harmon locals.Ridership is poor east of Huntington due to the Huntington transfer time and uncompetitive with the electric Ronkonkoma service. MUs do a hell of a lot better on hills, such as approaching Cold Spring Harbor,and there are more of them east of Northport. Dual-mode trains on locals would be slow. NJT scheduled running times on the NEC and the M&E are a disgrace compared to what they were in the 1980's because they are hauled by electric locos. That means more train sets needed to run the service, which costs money. Whining about FRA can inspections is only something that NJT does because the MMC is lazy. NJT has few MUs and their farebox recovery is no better than MN or LIRR. |
