- W2247222769 abstract "Costs of railroad electrification have risen dramatically. Rail transit is denied Manhattan (and other) business district access unless it is electrified. Commuters want one-seat rides to work. Operators wish to avoid, where possible, costly locomotive changes en route. Moreover, growth in the suburbs continues, reflected in modest growth in commuter railroad passenger volumes. All this results in time-consuming inconveniences to a great number of passengers. All of these factors combine to build a strong case for exploring alternatives to electrification extensions. In the Tri-State Region (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut), this issue is further complicated by the presence of four major carriers: New Jersey Transit Corporation, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Connecticut Department of Transportation, and Long Island Railroad. All of these carriers have, or recently had, electrification or re-electrification proposals under consideration. The Tri-State Regional Planning Commission assembled this group to address the cost-effectiveness of electrification alternatives in a systemwide fashion. A technical feasibility study entitled Propulsion Alternatives for Suburban Rail Corridors resulted and has been completed recently. This study developed cost comparisons between selected propulsion options from technical and cost data obtained from number of rail operators and rail equipment manufacturers. The analysis clearly illustrated that a number of candidate propulsion alternatives, especially dual-mode locomotive service, are more cost effective than traditional electrification. The implications are of national significance. Direct commuter-rail services to metropolitan centers can be provided without costly extension of electrification. Selective electrification can be programmed in affordable segments and the one-seat service areas can be significantly expanded." @default.
