You honestly believe that they're going to re-electrify the West Side? And there's nothing in the budget for new equipment to run across the Hellgate, unless the M8's have support for it, which has yet to be decided.
And diesels can't run into Penn...they have to switch over to an electric mode using third rail, and MNRR's diesels support underrunning third rail. Amtrak and LIRR diesels (the kind running into Penn which has overrunning third rails) support overrunning third rails.
