<p>[quote user="Overmod"]I think every potential mitigation of curve restriction was made in the rebuild engineering, at least on this 'end' of the transition over the highway.[/quote]</p> <p>What I don't understand is why didn't they change the alignment to accommodate larger curve radii? When the numbers I read are correct they invested more than $180 mio. into this project. Two new bridges and a re-aligned would have helped a lot.</p> <p>But perhaps they didn't find it necessary as it was close to the junction with the BNSF line.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
