Random question, as improvements to the corridor continue or are pondered, and Amtrak seeks to replace its Amfleet I’s:
The Brightline train sets are led by a variant of the Charger (SCB-40). NYS and Amtrak are looking to replace the P32’s with a modified SC-44 including third rail shoes (presumably over/under for all NYS roads).
Wouldn’t a modified Brightline set and business model be a good fit for Empire Service? Better yet, change providers to Brightline as an operator?
Amtrak would continue to operate the LD’s.
