[quote user="carnej1"] One of the major sources sited in the TRAINS article is the RAIL SOLUTIONS Virginia Website, essentially an interest group seeking rail improvements including electrification as an alternative to major rebuilding of Interstate 81 which connects Tn. With upstate NY via the Virginias and Pa. <A href="http://www.railsolution.org/">http://www.railsolution.org/</A>   [/quote] Thanks for posting that link.  I looked up Rail Solutions in Virginia, but got a different Rail Solutions with freight car selection and sourcing to handle different applications. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I notice that if you read down in the link you posted, you come to “The National Plan,” and in that text, there is a link called, “steel interstate” that takes you to their rail electrification plan, which also sites Alan Drake, and sounds like the Lothes article.  This “steel interstate” essay seems like the most comprehensive piece so far.   <o:p></o:p> I wonder what the trucking industry thinks about this plan.  The plan still needs trucks to get the goods from the railhead to the door, but will the conventional trucking industry fill that need, or will a whole new short range service replace the trucking industry with its current long haul component? <o:p></o:p> This takes you directly to the steel highway essay: <A href="http://www.railsolution.org/projects/steel-interstate.html">http://www.railsolution.org/projects/steel-interstate.html</A>
