[quote user="BaltACD"] <blockquote> <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote> Multiple track territory exists where the traffic demand requires it.  It is no easier to make space for HSR on multiple track territories than it is on single track territories...from a dispatching perspective as both territories are near their maximum capacity for freight operations.  HSR and the existing railroad physical plants are not compatabile....for either user. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote]   What about adding HSR to a freight corridor, but building a new, dedicated track just for the HSR?  When you say HSR is not compatible with existing railroad physical plant, I assume you are referring to HSR sharing the track with freight trains, and yet many have said this would be impossible due to the radically different affects that freight trains and HSR trains have on a track. But in my view, even if HSR were given its own track on an existing freight corridor, there would still be considerable impact on the host railroad's operations, especially in the necessary re-working of the corridor, including grades, alignment, drainage changes, new bridges, modified crossings, etc.
