I was just curious what the cost of constructing a new rail line per mile would be. Say single track heavy main, 141 pound rail, concrete ties, deep ballast, CTC and the supporting grade. Basically everything from the ground up. I know it could get really complicated if one tries to include the cost of land or Union versus Non-Union labor so lets say for the sake of argument that we will leave the land issue out and use a generic amount for the labor. I know these days you do not see too many projects on that scale, but I just wondering if any of you would know in 2004 money what it would run. Thanks.
