Found this blurb in Railway Age magazine. <br /> <br />"If high speed passenger trains are a hard sell in the U.S., how about high speed passenger/freight trains? FedEx has approached France#8217;s Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Transport about creating a freight component of the 200-mph TGV system. It would involve extending TGV track from a passenger terminal at Charles de Gaulle Airport to FedEx#8217;s European hub at the airport, which handles over one thousand tons of package freight a day, and designing specialty rolling stock." <br /> <br />In retrospect, it is suprising that it took time sensitive shippers this long to broach this concept. Could this be the key to making high speed rail profitable? <br /> <br />http://www.railwayage.com/B/xfromtheeditor.html
