The tracks in place today were planned, purchased and built well over one hundred years ago. Growth of population and commerce grew exponentially with less and less land available to lay track in a consistent plan for freight and passenger service. It is just the reality of the geographic region. Similar restrictions apply to vehicle road travel. Many cart paths trodden down since 1776 have been paved over to provide vehicle access with no real route planning.

Is the only reason they are going to start using dual mode locomotives because the freight railroads will not allow electrification, or did no one actually do a cost benefit analysis of electrifying those other routes versus the maintenance of the right of way and new heavier and more complex locomotives, versus running lighter weight and simpler electric locomotives over the entire region?
@CoasterFan210511 ай бұрын
I don't know what studies have been done or not, but electrifying all those off corridor lines would take a lot of time and money. Some of these trains only run once or twice per day to certain destinations. The equipment needs to replaced soon and in lieu of having all electrical infrastructure in place, this is a good alternative. It also allows for all electric operation if wires are added to other routes in the future.
