Will the U.S. phase out commuter trains that use diesel and switch to electric trains in the future?

I noticed how all the commuter trains here in Massachusetts use diesel engines. Will they switch to overhead lines in the not so distant future?

Who likes model railroading?

My Dad, and myself love trains. I have a large N scale layout. I personality have a problem finding a companion who can except me, and the fact that it’s not a toy train set. That’s what my X call it…lol I do have a life, outside of model railroading. It’s like a artistic expression of myself, and a passion for detail. :)

How does the energy in a fuel determine an engines performance in torque and power? Are trucks etc, that need a lot of power stuck with oil as a fuel because of it’s btu per gallon ?
