MTA Forum Posted December 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2017 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_Charger Can't they request to order some Siemens SC-44's to increase the diesel fleet.LIRR has 46 diesels.They can at least add a few more to the mix to accommodate more people on the non-electrified lines. The SC-44'S are really pretty and they can stop faster than the the DE30AC/DM30AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have a Dual mode model yet. Might be something in the cards. And then there's that. \/ 7 hours ago, Trainmaster5 said: Your question belongs in the railroad forum.

They don't currently plan to increase diesel service. 10 hours ago, MTA Forum said: The SC-44'S are really pretty and they can stop faster than the the DE30AC/DM30AC. They're pretty? Who cares. They can stop faster - that's good. But... DE30AC are only 20 years old, just a little older than the M7. There's no reason to replace them yet.
