Very good discussion on electrification. It appears that HVDC is the way to go, although some will disagree with this assumption. A recent posting summed it up: Why spend money on electrification when it is needed dearly to add double track, longer sidings, etc to increase capacity. There is only so much money in the basement of the railroad's offices. We have found out that the cost of the electrical aspects of our light rail system (catenary, substations, signalling, etc) is equal to the civil (grading) and track laying/ballast. Essentially you can double the cost of a railroad by electrifing (oops-I forgot signalling) <br /> <br />***
