Posted by JayMan on Fri May 9 20:28:01 2008, in response to Obama's quote on railū ''We should be expanding rail service'', posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Wed May 7 16:18:58 2008. Here is a map of proposed high-speed rail lines in the country (as of 2001): (From Wikipedia) There are certainly lots of possibilities, especially in the Midwest. Note when I say high-speed rail, I mean rail with track speeds of 125 mph. I seriously doubt anywhere on this line will ever see speeds higher than that (it's simply too expensive to upgrade the ROW to higher speeds). Under any administration, these will be long term goals. As mentioned the next president will have more pressing matters to attend to than rail, like ending our involvement in Iraq, and fixing our health care and education systems. |
