Clearly needed for busy lines, but hard to justify rationally for (say) Greenport or Montauk.From Riverhead to Greenport, it would be sort of insane, however, the Montauk Branch does carry a lot of passengers. It's the only line where before the double deckers came, they ran 14+ cars on many trains, and even today on certain Montauk trains are still the longest diesel trains the LIRR runs. But then again....I don't believe electrifying east of Patchogue, or maybe east of Speonk to be necessary. |
