While I am not familiar with the whole country, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area a lot of lines have been abandoned. Our local light rail company, DART, built a double electrified line on new track next to Union Station on real estate the railroads unloaded along UP's double main line. Of course, we won't be so lucky everywhere. <br /> <br />High speed trains don't get to their top speed until they get to the suburbs and beyond. Therefore, electrifying an existing line with new track to the stations could reach a crusing speed of 50-70 mph, similar to a light rail commuter train. I would rather prefer keeping the passenger trains off freight track. A new line could be built next to freight track along its right of way designated for passsenger trains only.
