AceMacSD, That ULMER is interesting. Get your tin foil and hat templates out !

Your probably still paying those same T&E to either dead head back to their cars at the initial terminal, or now more will have their 4hour+ layover in NYC for the day. Labor costs may decrease a bit, but operational savings is probably the goal. Be damned if you can store all those sets that ar...

I believe by Salt Lake, he means Stadler.

The Quincy stretch is two to three miles long. The Dorchester stretch is probably more than two miles. They’re linked by a three-mile stretch of double track. That’s too long of a stretch. There is 4 miles of Single Track in the Quincy area (3.9 down to Green), and nearly 2.5 miles in the dorcheste...
