Both submodels may run on LIRR non3rdRailLineElectric\non3RLE branches; the DM30ACs have the ability to draw 3RLE power via retractable pickups on their BogieTrucks, switching from Diesel to 3RLE mode as needed, typically thru tunnels serving Penn Station in Manhattan from points east. DE30ACs serve LIRRs non3RLE branches: Port Jefferson~Huntington, Ronkonkoma~Greenport... DM30ACs & DE30ACs are not normally used on LIRRs Hempstead, West Hempstead, Long Beach, Far Rockaway & Port Washington branches.
