[quote user="videomaker"] [quote user="sunbeam"]This still doesn't address the issues of whether the signaling systems and automatic warning devices are functioning properly. Cap Metro had contracted for these systems before they contracted an operator. [/quote] sunbeam, I agree with 4merroad4man that Herzog has the talent and experience to fix the signaling problems,along with other issues as far as the railroad goes..I have more faith in Herzog than I did in Veolia... [/quote] In addition to the problems discussed above, the financial aspects of the project are disturbing.  The project is at least $30 million over budget.  In addition, Capital Metro announced last week that it will cost approximately $6 million per year to operate the system, but it will only recover about $500,000 or 8.3 per cent of the operating expenses from the fare box.  Every time an article regarding this project appears in the Austin American Statesman, there is a flurry of negative comments regarding it.  It is a public relations disaster for passenger rail in central Texas.
