Did you ever think that persons who pay commuter rail prices want to ride up high in a commuter rail vehicle? Transit type vehicles, which Europeans like to pass off as real trains, simply provide a lower class of space and comfort than full sized rail coaches. If we can self-propel standard looking railcars with electricity we can propel them with diesel engines. The British Rail Networkers came in both EMU and DMU configurations. There is no reason why someone couldn't dieselize a Comet V coach or an M-7 type coach. The result wouldn't be stuck with fixed sized train-sets that required POP due to lack of passthrough. |
