excuse me, transit agencies can waste money just as gast no matter what the "weight" of the rolling stock. As to the trackage, modern LRVs w/ all the bells whistles and AC weigh more than classic PCC based subway L cars of CTA and MNTA, so the rail mow spec'd is heavier than what was laid before. Most newer LR is concrete tie--excellent not cheap to install. As to other costs, there are "heavy rail catenary systems so the issue is mostly PR. Perhaps Cleveland w/ mixed service sharing trackage would be instructive.
