Sure, it works great in some circumstances, especially when the

Distances aren't that much of a problem, and many electrified lines
extend for great distances.

Additionally, a small fraction of a network tends to handle a large
fraction of the traffic, and only that small fraction need be
electrified.

The advantage of electrification is that you can haul heavier loads
with electric locomotives.



Wrong again fjukkwit.

China is in much better shape than the U.S. in terms of risks of a crash.

China can't sell at a loss long enough to drive all the competition
out of business, part of it maybe, but not all of it.

What competition?

Trains cross the Rockies every day. What other mountains did you have in

Hot flash for you; there are only a few places through the Rockies
where you can get a shallow enough grade for trains to make it.

Doesn't Europe have some Alps and stuff like that -- don't they use a
concept called tunnels???

The highway system helped to do that? What leads you to that

Knowledge of things other than having my finger up my ass.

Nomen,

And, BTW, it's total stupidity to "rebuild" a country you went to war with.


Not if companies the vice president is involved with profit immensely.

If Kucinich got his way, he'd be before a jury here, too.

There's a lot to like about that guy.
