Probably more time-related. New Haven is where the yards are, and there are plenty of crossovers between the various station tracks (well utilized when they do engine changes there...The Vermonter and the 140-series trains still undergo an engine change). I would expect that endpoint station time is more of an issue now that the number of trips has been increased -- in fact push-pull might have been the reason they were able to add more trips back and forth without adding much more equipment.battalion51 said:They can wye in SPG, I think the issue is either in New Haven, or the time it takes to do that. The entire idea behind cab cars is the quick turnaround time. All the Engineer should have to do is flick off his headlights, put up dem markers, go to the other end and do the opposite operation. That train should technically be ready to go on its next run within 5-10 minutes, not half hour to an hour.
