And the "high-speed" train as currently advertised operates at speeds "up to" a mere 150 mph. Makes not a bit of sense if you're building a dedicated right of way, since that's the speed that'd be permitted on a traditional right of way so long as the track is upgraded to Class 8, you have a trainset that meets Tier II specs, and you have all the associated signaling, blah blah. If the expense of building the dedicated ROW is going to be engaged in, one would expect a train running at 186 mph or faster. |
