The M9 is a class of electric multiple unit railroad cars being built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries for use on the MTA's Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North Railroad. Lieber and the MTA commuter railroad boss Cathy Rinaldi - she serves as head of Metro-North in addition to her role as the interim chief of the LIRR - also announced a slew of schedule changes that aimed to reduce the crowding at Jamaica and the crush loads onboard trains running to Penn Station.Mitsubishi Electric hybrid SiC- IGBT– VVVF Ĥ ft 8 + 1⁄ 2 in ( 1,435 mm) standard gauge Mango The MTA promised that the LIRR could accommodate Grand Central’s rush hour schedule. “And you’ve seen improvement in the service every day.” LIRR interim chief Cathy Rinaldi and Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber address reporters at Grand Central Madison after nearly two weeks of furor over schedule changes. “We’re having a period of adjustment and, as we’ve said, we’re making adjustments to facilitate it,” he added. “Jamaica’s not going to be falling over because it’s not falling over right now,” MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said during a press conference at LIRR’s new $11.2 billion underground terminal at Grand Central, known as Grand Central Madison. The promises came after The Post revealed the existence of a 2012 capacity study ordered by the LIRR that found a similar schedule would result in frequent mass delays because it would overtax the station without major capacity improvements, which won’t be completed until 2027. MTA officials promised Thursday that the Long Island Rail Road’s Jamaica hub can handle the complex new schedule needed to serve Grand Central after a slew of rush-hour meltdowns added to the furor from commuters over the timetable changes.
