If any line is going to get converted, it would be the Hudson, which has no grade crossings AFAIK. Conversion with the transition just north/west of Yankees/153rd would allow freight to get into the Bronx without any third rail interference, but the ultimate driving reason would be so that Amtrak could operate under the wire to Albany and maybe beyond, as well as MN operating electric to POK. Electrify the Danbury to New Milford, get rid of the one through train to Wassaic, and they could get rid of those stupid dual-modes.There's just no reason to convert the Harlem. It doesn't make any sense. Get rid of the grade crossings, beef up the substations to handle longer trains, third rail is fine for a relatively isolated commuter line. |
