<p>[quote user="VOLKER LANDWEHR"]The question is is it possible to achive this kind of pattern between a light-rail system and NCRR.[/quote]</p> <p>If this possible RME is right the light rail transit systems doesn't have to follow FRA crashworthiness rules. I jumped to conclusions in my first post.</p> <p>To get back to BLE and NCRR there was an analysis called "Analysis of the Use of the NCRR Corridor for Light Rail Transit". <br /><a href="http://www.ourtransitfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2.11a-01036-REV-Analysis-Use-NCRR-Corr-LRT-22Nov13.pdf">http://www.ourtransitfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2.11a-01036-REV-Analysis-Use-NCRR-Corr-LRT-22Nov13.pdf</a> </p> <p>On page 33 the BLE using the NCRR row is discussed: Quote: "There are currently two freight tracks in the 200' right-of-way. Future plans negotiated by all parties call for a total of 3 to 4 freight tracks, 2 high-speed rail tracks, and two light-rail tracks." End of quote.</p> <p>Perhaps these future extensions made shared-track with the NCRR tracks unfeasible.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
