A lot of people on this forum seem to be commenting on the high price of oil.However i have never read anything on electrification. When i lived in South Africa S. A. R. had an iron ore line several hundred miles long that was electrified at 50kv AC so the substations could be masive distances apart and the locomotives could handle a voltage drop of nearly 50% (i think). Has electrification like that been considered for service in the USA in the western states.
