I do know that on the 2-track South Shore, expresses can run through local stations at high speeds, as with the
Main Line before the recent widening.

Or would the Renaissance fleet be used as standby/reserve for the Ocean as well?

Given their non-standard status as oddballs imported from UK, it seems the best choice to retire them first.

No. The T had no plans whatsoever for restoring Old Colony service when the South Shore Extension of the Red Line was built. The third track was retained for serving the few remaining freight customers along the route. That confirms the Quincy bottleneck is because the Old Colony was treated an aft...

Now I have to admit when the South Shore Line was built in the late 1960s, was it based on the same concept as PATCO, running a 3-track ROW open cut through Haddonfield with the NJT (PRSL) only a single track with two rail transit tracks? The same configuration applies in Quincy with the double trac...

Wiedefeld is now Maryland Transportation Secretary.

ALPs have final assembly in Kassel, car body in Wroclaw.

It is understanding the Kawasakis (trolleys) go first due to ADA. But given their young age (25 years), were the M4s lemons from an early point? The 1928 Broad Street Cars were 55 years old in 1983, the same age of the R32s in 2020. On the rail side, the Silverliner IVs might last as long as the Rea...

I'm assuming coaches only, no sleepers?

The NJDOT Bergen County map has both branches out of service as of the 2022 edition.

Had the Bayonne shuttle and Bay Bridge remained, might have done well given Bayonne gentrification, Jersey
Gardens and serving an east-west rail link with no corresponding bus service.

Not sure if they're still running, but didn't VIA have a whole fleet of sleeping (and maybe other type) cars that the had bought from British Rail? Known as "Renaissance" fleet, built by Metro-Cammell 1995-1996 for a stillborn premium sleeper service, VIA purchased the shells in 2000 and ...

I believe B&M did it under MBTA auspices with RDCs (MBTA subsidy starting Jan 1965). Even so, the agency seemed to be anti-RDC, hence the rebuilding of them into coaches. There are no off shelf AAR/FRA Class I DMUs at this time other than the UP Express (by a company that is no longer participat...

Should the delair bridge ever fail then what? Is conrail just gonna tell all their south jerseys customers too bad so sad? Afraid of a Francis Scott Key scale disaster? If something does happen, RiverLine light rail would have to suspended and CSAO running up to Trenton, clear the brush along side ...

There's also the SPVs sold to Mexico recently and at least one in St. Louis for the Polar Express at Union Station.
