[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan I would not like to have to go through the pains of trackage rights agreement or lack of. It would be cheaper in the long run if I just built a new route and not spend the money on court battles and spend money on my competition. [/quote] Andrew- Not to defecate on your dynamo here, but I think you need to brush up on your beancounting here. Building a new mainline with signals will run at least $2Million a mile NOT including the cost of acquiring the ROW. That ROW will be expensive indeed in that area of the world. There are reasons that few new railroads are being built and ROW availability and cost is high on the list. Just to build from Binghamton to NJ would be a multi $Billion$ undertaking. I realize this is imaginary, but I'm hoping to pull this down to near reality. If not, you'll lose out on a great learning experience on how railroads work. Trackage rights are always cheaper than building new. Just think of how many large RRs will accept TRs on a competitors line so they can shut a parallel line and tear it up. LC
