LIRR scoot trains planned for the North Fork on hold

2016-02-19 17:23:18| Railroads - Topix.net

Plans for so-called scoot trains, which were once envisioned as a way of increasing Long Island Rail Road service to the North Fork, have been put on hold after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority learned the trains are incompatible with the LIRR's network. The MTA had authorized spending more than $37 million to purchase the smaller "diesel multiple units," which are lighter, have smaller engines and are more cost-effective to operate than existing LIRR trains.
