Sorry for derailing the thread a bit
An excellent pun :-)
ATM, I would suggest
http://www.lightrailnow.org/
even though it does not cover all aspects.
There are some other sites.
Ohers have urged me as well, although I find writing painful & slow, several people say that I write well. I am looking at this.
I am not a fan of High Speed Rail in the USA. I prefer "semi-HSR" that can run passengers at 110-125 mph top speeds and light & medium density freight on the same tracks. I see freight as the higher priority.
I am active on stuff behind the scenes. Two long shots for 1,000+ mile railroad electrification programs in the works.
I am booked till ASPO-Houston, but let me think this over. I am preparing handouts for the conference ATM, and the T21 model using my ideas with Millennium Institute.
It has been a LOT of work to develop ideas from concepts to firm ideas. The hard #s from the T21 model will help a lot IMHO.
My two best papers are
http://www.aspo-usa.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=168&It...
http://www.lightrailnow.org/features/f_lrt_2007-04a.htm
Point them there.
Best Hopes,
Alan
Ok.
Well, I got those domains anyways.
Maybe TOD could put together a compilation of electric rail discussions under them.
It is not a rejection, let me think about it.
I also think a broader subject, such as Peak Oil & Global Warming Mitigation may be more appropriate. Many of my concepts (a non-GHG North American grid for example) fall into that rubric.
Best Hopes,
Alan
Didn't mean to put you on the spot either. There here if you want em.
