Why aren't there any plans to use M9's for the SIRT which are being delivered to the LIRR. Since the SIRT is technically a railroad under FRA control, these cars would fit the bill perfectly. They could divert 35-40 cars for use there. In the 1970s when they were awaiting the R44s, LIRR MP72s were put into service.
