Gotta stay on the Upper Hudson. I believe the MAS between Cold Spring & New Hamburg is 95. I remember some of the now retired engineers saying that 2 FL-9's with 7 Bombs could never get past 80. Todays GE's solved that problem.Even the "starships', those AC rebuilds of the late 90's which cost the MTA @ 15mil each to rebuild, and were in service to the early 00's could'nt meet their performance goals. Thus the need for a padded schedule. The FL-9 AC rebuild program was one of the biggest mistakes the MTA ever agreed to. Botton line, the Gennies are geting it done. I'll be on #802 tomorrow & barring anything unforseen. Ill be in GCT early, as in before timetable time, as usual. |
