Electrification is not a big deal unless you want to have 150+mph service. <br />After electrification, everything gets harder: <br />-If you want capacity improvements, put new signals, add some sidings... and put thicker wires and additional transformers. <br />-If you want bigger clearances, raise bridges, tunnels.... and change all electrification poles. <br />-If you want longer trains, enlarge terminals, sidings,... and get new wires and transformers. <br />-If you want faster trains, stabilize track, modify some curves,... and make electrification again. <br /> <br />Besides, electrification needs maintenance and, as someone stated before, blackouts mean immediate collapse.
