Moving on from the windbags. I am not so sure that it would make sense to move freight on a HSL. This might make since if it ran on regular track, not a Maglev or anything. Most goods have more problems with lack of freight cars not the speed of delivery. You still are going to have freight trains slowing down passenger trains, since freight trains would have to make more stops to pick up and drop of cars. You also might have problems getting both shippers for a commodity the HSL route, or having the right type of freight car loaded. Another issue not brought up is grade crossing safety. People complain freight trains come out of nowhere, a 250mph train would come even faster. Because of the more spread out us suburbs and rural roads, we couldn’t build over passes for every crossing. If any experts are out there, I would love to here from them about the idea of freight on a HSL.
