The EMD DM30AC is the dual-mode version of a class of 46 locomotives built between 1997 and 1999 by Electro-Motive Division at the Super Steel Plant in Schenectady, New York, for the Long Island Rail Road. It can run on diesel power or on electric third rail power while the diesel engine is off, which lets it use the East River Tunnels into New York Penn Station and gives direct service from non-electrified lines in eastern Long Island to Penn Station. Running in electric mode requires two DM30ACs per train regardless of train length. DM30AC 503 was damaged in an accident at Huntington in October 2000.
