Actually, they have prioritized Yaphank as next to get electrified some day.(Translation, more down time) Not that simple. Factor in MDBF. It's about 40K miles on a P32DM and 400K miles on an M7. Only NJT is paranoid of FRA inspections and buys electric locos, hardly a model operation and customer satisfaction down to 4.0 on a scale up to 10. Even their stinkin' bus division is about 6.1. (Point being, 3d rail is an expensive & in most cases an unneccessary "improvement" ) You will find NO ONE out of 7,000 passengers boarding at Ronkonkoma itself, or any station along the way to Carle Place, electrified between 1972 and 1987, would agree with you. Furthermore, the dual-modes and bi-level cars have completely failed to stem the ridership diversions from the Port Jeff and South Shore. |
