But gas and driving in general was still cheap then, and rail cars were by and large getting old and creaky. Pre-war cars were still the mainstay of many commuter rail lines. The Metroliners may have been capable of 160 mph, but was the signal system sufficient? Per wikipedia, the FRA cited that as a reason. Add to that the general deterioration of the NEC and the fact that most of it wasn't really designed for that speed, made high speed rail even less of a possibility. |
