to get hourly service on Danbury and waterbury they would need to add trains

The Talgo onboard unit is pretty much only used for Emergencies.

HEP cars have never been succes be it in early Amtrak days , the European Talgo's or French INOX TEE sets.
the are heavy to lug around , basically require a attendant and save nothing.

answer yes cause its new construction.
no as HEP requires high RPM to comply with frequencie requirement unless a inverter is used.

keep in mind with yard moves, a AC traction train is not even close to drawing max power.

people do not realize how many jobs are essential for society's well being.

sad part is Budd exceeded 1000 000 lbs crush load on both M-1 and M-3 , so why except marginal.

ehh no unless they buy and pay the company secrets are safe.

Keep in mind siemens/emd ac traction has one inverter for each two traction motors . so relegating one inverter for HEP . makes this a 4 axle locomotive with HEP. so who are we fooling...

no rail manufacturer is going to share their fails or success, it ruins the health of company .
No company is going to share their engineering data unless the competitor is willing to shell out big bucks.

sad part for families is they probably would not show till water gets warmer.

My question to all pushing this idea , have you ever ridden a freight engine at 75> 80 mph ???
My guess is no , they ride like a lead sled and I would be off on disability pretty fast . they may ride good (even at speed) pulling a freight.
but pulling a passenger consist would be pure insanity.

Does it matter what was wrong, if failed test and did not comply with requirements and Nippon Sharyo
could not correct the problem.

circle line needs no bridges operated , except for the DV rail/swing bridge.

Spuyten is old Dutch for Spuiten it translates as Spraying like a hose or whale would do.
