Re: (erielack) New NJT locomotives being built by Alstom at the former Erie/EL Hornell Shops!



List,
Out here, any new equipment is better than no passenger equipment.  Personnally, I would like to see a smooth-side version, unless the fluting keeps the sides cleaner or has some possitive effect on fuel economy (which I doubt).  I also have a somewhat funny but true story of testing newer designs for crashes, but it is not specifically EL related.  It might apply to the shovel-nose of this unit.  And I think a somewhat re-arranged paint scheme could improve these units.
