The MTA does know about the rule change. They will not buy off the shelf because it does not meet their requirements. -
None of what you said makes sense... Through running makes no sense. LIRR/MNRR will not be utilizing off the shelf since it does not meet their requirements and they are not married pairs.

MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

Preparation for snow loans are a more plausible theory. -

Do you know how long these swaps will last? -

What was the point of swapping fleets?? It doesn't make any sense. -
You do not understand that electrification is costly and is not cost effective. Trains produce way less fumes then cars and trucks. If you really want to do something go regulate that instead.
-
They run whenever they are needed.
-
That is not at all true. The PTC in ESA is the same for the whole system. The reason why M3s cannot run in ESA is they cannot get up the grade in the 63rd street tunnels.
-
Montauk especially is a flood risk area. They flood yearly making electrification costly...
-
Trains produce much less fumes than cars and trucks...

Electrification in the current day is very expensive and pointless... Oyster Bay lacks the ridership to be electrified... What I meant by environment is the environmental challenges for electrification. Many areas on the PJ branch are flood risk areas preventing electrification. There are also other environmental challenges. It is pointless to electrify more. If you really wanted to run more trains you could always buy more equipment.

Do you not understand the reasons for not electrifying?? 1. Money 2. Environment 3. Lack of Ridership 4. etc. Do some PROPER research before talking...

Alon does in fact pull information out of his ass. He lack knowledge of how railroads work. He once said that trains LIRR should through run into NJ under current circumstances and only hold at the station for 1 minute. He clearly lacks knowledge of how railroads operate. Has it crossed your mind to study rr ops and maybe talk to workers before spewing incorrect information?
-
No there isn't.

1. FLIRTs don't work because they are not married pairs. 2. FLIRTS only work for low level boarding. 3. If you were to jack up the platform height, it wouldn't fit in the 63rd street tunnels. 4. Off the shelf European trains will never work. The FRA allowing off the shelf european trains only works in certain situations.

This article is complete bullshit. The author does not know what he is talking about and lack zero knowledge of railroad operations. The people he interviewed also do not know anything about how railroad ops work and have been eurobrained to the max. This article is completely false.

It will not. GCT will shut down between 2-4 or something around that time.
-
The signal system is the same. It is ACSES and LIRR's form of ATC...

Everything involving money is covered by MNRR. I don't see why NJT would want to buy it.
-
The station itself is in NJ and is owned by NJT. The yard is in NY but NJT owns it.
-
MNRR owns the trackage and station in New York. MNRR contracts NJT to run it since it is much easier that way and much cheaper.
-
I have stated this before... Belmont Park shuttles are extremely hard to run. Running mass amounts of BP Shuttle trains requires Hempstead to be shut down which is not very reasonable...
-
You cannot put M9 features in them...
-
There still is a rush. They want to open as soon as possible. They are following all FRA orders so I does not matter.
