Virginia Rail Solution? |
|
|
Posted by WillD on Fri Sep 11 14:33:14 2009 I came across this concept drawing of a proposed upgrade to Norfolk Southern's route paralleling I-81 in Virginia in looking for stuff for another post. IMHO the NS Mo-No-Chrome Traxx/Eurosprinter locomotive and the Acela to god knows where make it a fairly entertaining image. Like the other image from Cooper Consulting it shows an attachment to Chunnel or SBB-like truck-on-train Ro-Ro operation with a dedicated passenger car for the truck drivers. And like the Maglev in the California photo I have no idea why anyone would run an Acela out around Roanoke, especially considering most SEHSR plans call for electrification well to the east of there. But hey, if they manage to resurrect some of the Virginian's old wired territory then that'd be really cool.
