They did not know that these locomotives would be a bust.Yes, of course. You must also consider that there *was* MTA politics involved here Oh so you admit the MTA holds the cards..... really did not give a damn if the locomotives worked or not. Well I wouldn't go that far. Obviously they didn't set out to buy lemons. When they did not work, they made a giant step sideways and bought Genesis locomotives for MNRR, while blaming the LIRR for the DM30s. Yes, that is true. We all give credit to Metro North to having the better engines, but the only reason the LIRR got stuck with them, and Mtero North lucked out with off the shelf engines is because the LIRR came first, and they weren't about to make the same mistake with Metro North when their turn came.... |
