QUOTE: Originally posted by Blue Ridge Front I believe much of the line along the Hudson River valley from New York to Albany is electrified, but I'm not positive. At least that much is done. Isn't VIA looking at Bombardier's Bullet Train technology though on the Toronto -Montreal line? If that's ever developed enough, high speed rail may not require miles and miles of electrification.
