That's a riduculously complicated and expensive proposal. I know AC catenary is superior to DC third rail, and if we were debating over which power source to use if none of the system was electrified, catenary is the way to go. But the LIRR has hundreds of miles of third rail powered track and almost 1,000 third rail powered MU's, none older than 25, most younger than 10. The most sensible mode for expanded electrification is a compatible DC third rail, even if it costs more to install. |
