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.

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.
