although it might  not be a valid comparison the difficulties the ACS-64s are having making voltage transitions from 12.5Kv to 25Kv and back could be applied to M-8s ?

When Metro-North and Connecticut DOT purchased the M8 rail cars, they were supposed to also replace the aging Shoreline East fleet. Is that still going to happen?
