Amtrak Locos into NYO |

Posted by MainR3664 on Tue Feb 26 13:58:06 2013 Hello all...Recently, I posted a question about LIRR DM locomotives, and received some very helpful info. I wonder if you gents could repeat the trick, but this time, about Amtrak. As i came to understand, Amtrak will not allow LIRR to operate in diesel mode into Penn Station. But what about Amtrak's own lcoomotives (other than NE corridor and Acela)? Fro example, the line to Albany, Syracuse, etc is not electrified. For these runns, does Amtrak make an exception for itself and allow dielsel operation into NYP< on the basis that it's only a few trains and won't cause much underground pollution...? Or, does Amtrak have its own dual mode locomotives for these runs? If so, do they operate on 3rd rail or catenary power? Thank You |
