Or you could actually improve convenience for the customers and fully electrify the network with 25kv already.

Re-electrify the entire LIRR with overhead catenary ? Not gonna happen, not enough stimulus money to take on a gargantuan task. And what happens to 783 M-7's ? Re-electrification would take decades to complete. We're lucky if ESA gets completed.

And BTW, although a rarity, pantographs have been known to bring down catenary wire in extreme temperatures. And that screws of the line worse than ice and snow on the third rails.
