This is the trip geometric mean population per mile. Line of site miles are adjusted to assume an effective alignment that is 90% of the ideal alignment. All values are pairwise values, so obviously overlapping routes will pool infrastructure costs between these trips.

Lower cutoff at 100 miles, upper cutoff at 580 miles, all values to geo-mean 10,000/mile.

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