Quote: In the United States it was estimated that it cost as much to electrify a railroad as it cost to build it in the first place.
Only in the US is this sad statement so true, and this failure to upgrade our infrastructure whatsoever, keeps our RR antiquated, behind all other countries technological advancements...that's why the US fails so miserably...never upgrade anything...just keep patching up the delapidated RR...Like the Penn Central did...fail to plan...plan to fail. The city of Altoona never did anything right...now it's nearly a ghost town.
