I agree with everyone that you can not mix Europe and America. <br />The trains in Australia are more similar to the USA than that in Europe. Okay! <br /> <br />And I agree also, wrote this also in my long first reply that I think that such ideas are not good for trains that will run through deserts! <br /> <br />But I will only bring one aspect into front: We run engineer only trains at lines with 10 and more trains in one hour! The reason for engineer only trains is that there are so much safety systems in the train and at the line. <br /> <br />In Europe the grade crossings are not rebuilt after WW2! Thats our mainproblem! We must run our trains also at the old lines, built before 1900, with many curves and so. <br />After WW2 many of our mainlines were destroyed! But we need the railroads, so we must rebuilt the old lines. <br /> <br />Okay we had rebuilt some lines in the 70´s and 80´s! Also we had built some new lines (passenger only) in the 80´s and 90´s but that isn´t as much as many think! <br />[^] [bow] [#ditto]
