I actually really like the Shore Line Road even though it is slow and will always be. Just run along it with the map and compare it to I-95... even though the highway is a bit curvy, it's nothing compared to the Shore Line.<br /><br />Upgrades, replacement and repair to existing HSR-capable infrastructure should be the focus, after fixing organization and electronics of course.<br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027332620204904993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183605236529560843.post-27441038524205972622012-08-24T00:03:25.442-04:002012-08-24T00:03:25.442-04:00I'm not entirely convinced about using I-95 as...I'm not entirely convinced about using I-95 as a bypass route, at least in urban areas where the rail line would have to stick fairly closely to the road. For one thing, it will involve a lot of expensive rebuilding of the highway to make the connections, and for another, highways tend to have alignments designed for highway speeds: 65 mph, which is not exactly fast even by Metro North standards. That said, pretty much any alignment would be better than the current one in New London, so at least there's that.crzwdjkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394805356595604336noreply@blogger.com
