EMU's have superior acceleration and would be more suited to a line with a large number of stops. From what I can tell, the line doesn't have many bridges that go over the tracks since its an embankment itself, so catenary clearance and air gap for 25kv power could be unlimited.
The F40PHs seem to produce more diesel smoke and noise than Cousin Bubba's rolling coal F250 dually, and that might effect the ability for TOD to develop around these stations.
