trainfan22 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 15, 2020 Theres also options for CDOT and NYS, this order should wipe out all the dual mode gennies at Metro North and Amtrak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted December 15, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 15, 2020 Siemens, huh? Would rather have seen them order from a domestic manufacturer. GE, EMD, Brookville, MotivePower, and a few other makers that mostly specialize in low-emissions diesels come to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, they are buying products already in use that are actually proven to work at scale, and NYSDOT's options would be similar to the rest of the Amtrak fleet and should be easier to maintain. EMD's latest passenger locomotive had issues and Metrolink has been the only buyer so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
