In theory I believe they're mechanically related to the F59PH and F59PHIs in use on other commuter railroads like Metrolink, GO, and Trinity Rail Express. Both use EMD 12-710G3B powerplants (least the F59PHI does), and I believe the primary difference between the the LIRR units and all is that the "DE/DM30AC" uses Siemens AC inverters and motors, just like all of EMD's AC units, while the F59s use EMD DC traction motors. I think I once saw something from EMD's website which listed the DE30AC and DM30AC as having a designation like F59PHACM and F59PHACM-DM or something, but I don't know if that's official. |
