"People want a fast, reliable electric railroad. "

WRONG. People want fast reliable TRANSPORTATION. They could give a rats ass if its electric, diesel or mule train. The point of my post was that you get more bang for your buck with reliable diesel equiptment that has been proven out on MN's Hudson Line over several years.

Granted, the'll be some elitist snobs that think they shit ice cream & insist that the dirty stinky diesel is a relic of the past & electric is the way to go (Harlem Line included), they don't have their facts straight. The overall emissions of a modern diesel locomotive is much cleaner than the old FL-9s that ran there years ago & the cost of fuels that run electric plants to power the third rail overall is much higher now v/s then.
Its just a bottom line thing.
