But then you're leaving less than 100 route miles of diesel operations. Economies of scale enjoyed at the moment with the diesel fleet will disappear with so small an operation. As a result the fixed costs will become the vast majority of the expenditure on the fleet and those short diesel shuttles will become an ideal target for budget cutbacks. If the full system is not electrified at once the LIRR will end up with another three Wading River Branches where poor service, NIMBYs and budgetary pressure will add up to kill service to Montauk, Greenport, and Oyster Bay. |
