I was talking about LIRR. MN is off their rocker with the 3rd rail extension BS for Penn service. If at some point, the capacity is available, they should either buy used NJT/Amtrak gear or tag onto an NJT/MARC/Amtrak order and do loco-hauled push-pull, which would eliminate the need for additional 3rd rail. Either that, or they could pool with/ lease equipment from NJT, and do run-throughs, which might make things a tiny bit less chaotic at Penn and squeak a tiny bit more capacity out of an already way beyond capacity station. |
