Just electrify the diesel parts, and get M8s and ALP46s(Probably for all of metro north too)M7s would then be used for the current electric lines, while the new M8s and current Diesel units (with new electric engines) would run on the currently diesel, by then electrified outer lines. (IE Montauk, Greenport, Port Jefferson, Oyster Bay, North Hudson, North Harlem, Danbury, and Waterbury lines) If such an idea were to be determined feasable,I would certainly think that the M7s are new enough to justify constructing the early idea of M8s- A central Cat based car which would power the other 2 cars of the pair. |
