People want fast reliable TRANSPORTATION.But even if a diesel is as reliable as an electric, it still accelerates more slowly. I think they managed to cut quite a few minutes off the schedule to the former Brewster North by electrifying, because there are so many stops. It's less of a problem between Croton and Poughkeepsie because the stops are spaced much farther apart. |
