Re: And now a question, on freight. (none / 1)
Yes, yes, yes. Though elsewhere, only the French high-speed network runs high-speed postal trains. I don't really know why no one tried HSL-based packet service.

Re: And now a question, on freight. (none / 0)
Definitely UPS and FedEx do not care how their freight travels, so if high speed rail freight was an attractive option, they'd use it. For example, a HSR line through Columbus could have an Express branch head out to connect to the big cargo airport, and then 9pm outbound / 6am inbound overnight freight from central facilities around Chicago would have a three hour crossover window at Columbus.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
