Comparative costs of electric locomotives in other North American railroads?How about your daily ridership numbers for the Dinky then? Yeah, I thought not. Since you visit it so infrequently, even your anecdotal evidence is nearly worthless. Busway solves no problems except to turn a faster rail service into a bus service with unknown right of way capital cost conversions of its own. It is not a simple matter of rolling asphalt. They tried a US1 Busway proposal, then tried to incorporate the Dinky 10 years ago to puff up abysmal ridership projections. It was rejected. The busway does solve problems and introduce additional possibilities, as I mentioned before. The only complexities I can see is the grade crossing near Princeton and maybe electronic enforcement against cars and trucks. Oh yeah, and maybe some lights. No signals, no overhead power lines, no FRA requirements. Your US1 example is a completely different animal, because that's squeezing an existing roadway. |
