High speed rail

The Problems of Railroads They need a technological update. Their infrastructure requirements are an economic disaster. No more Studies are needed. The Sky Hook A High-Speed Train Proposal Modular engine chassis disconnect from the passenger compartments at stations with elevator-style unload/load platforms. This allows ground level access and minimizes departure areas. They can be built above existing tracks, roads and other limitations eliminating the constraints of landlocked properties. Because no intersections would have to be rebuilt year after year the cost of this project would be offset with savings alone. Snow and ice would not be problems because the mechanics of the transport module are above and enclosed. The two-track suspension system would eliminate the problems inherent in a monorail system. The center of gravity would be a hanging load rather than a load sitting on top. This would provide the stability to allow higher speeds. Lithium batteries and computer-controlled servomotors would drive the modular engine chassis. Different size and type cubicles could be built that would accommodate four passengers at a time or larger cubicles for cars and other shipped goods. This would allow 24/7 access. Iron and construction workers could be hired by the thousands to erect support columns. It could spur an economic engine and allow workers to own and operate facilities and engage citizen participation.
