<p>[quote user="Brian_Tampa"] Not sure why IDOT did not negotiate with UPRR to install bypass or gantlet tracks at each station in order to facilitate high level boarding.[/quote]</p> <p>The Brightline cars are optimised for a platform height of 48'' and a distance of track centerline to platform edge of 73''. The freight plates are 128'' wide. With 9'' from plate edge to platform edge there shouldn't be the need for a gauntlet track.</p> <p>If this can be kept when trap door are fitted I don't know.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
