Even extending third rail electrification to the remainder of the system would take an eternity.And that's the problem with third rail extensions. The LIRR will incur a far greater cost in substations and terminal yards with incremental expansions of the third rail system than they would with a one time electrification using high voltage AC catenary. -WillD If the above post relates to the extension of electrification on Long Island I am strictly discussing the use of catenary to electrify the diesel segments and use dual voltage equipment on the third rail. Note, this does not involve the reelectrification of the third rail sections. |
