Probably much like the LIRR "disease", they want something Amtrak-specific, not a knock-off of another railroad's equipment, similar to how the LIRR chose the DE/DM class as opposed to what many said they should have done and that was go for the P32AC-DMs. LIRR didn't wanna be a copycat of MNR and Amtrak, and wanted something LIRR-specific, and Amtrak is doing same, much as how they went with their own designs for the Acela as opposed to a copycatted X-2000 or an ICE trainset for the NEC. |
