martin - in the US the cost of HSR was estamined 30 million@mile. Add extra 2 million for catenary. Building diesel isn't sensible approach then. <br /> <br />Also - if you don't go over 15-17 ton axleload you can run 20000 ton trains at 200 mph.... if you have the power. But - what for? <br /> <br />futuremodal: maglev is a pipe-dream. With mag-lev you would need to aquire ROW into the cities to succesfuly achieve what HSR could. TGVs spend about half of their time off LGV (high speed lines). <br /> <br />As for HSR freight - it has some sense into it - with high-value goods in bi/intermodal approach.
