This hugely depends on many factors. What quality should the rail be? Do you transport freight at 30km/h or pasenger rail at 200 km/h? Is there electification involved? How is the soil along the tracks? How many trains of what type do you need? Do you want electric train protection and signaling? How nice do you want the train stops to be? Does it cross property of private individuals that you need to aquire?
I just want to say that this is not really a question that has an answer since it depends on so many factors. You also have to think about regulations for rail traffic. Building a rail line in your backyard isn‘t neary as expensive as one you use commercially because of safety standards you have to comply with, which is a good thing.
Oh and even if you could specify a project, i still would have no clue since i‘m not a project manager nor civil engineer, just interested in rail and trains :D
You might find this video about the brightline rail in Florida interesting. They started off as only a short section and the video discusses the costs and funding.
As much as the praising of Precision Scheduled Railroading is annoying to me and reads like a pacifier for money-hungry shareholders, the promise of putting safety back to the top of the priority list and putting more rail and transportation experience into management seems good.
They’re full of shit. It’s a short-term boost to stock price via slashed operational costs. They’ll bail as soon as the momentum starts to derail. Improving safety doesn’t start with reducing maintenance resources. Precision railroading is a scam that investors buy into because it sounds good on paper, but keeps proving to be a disaster when all the minor shortcomings stack up into a collapse of performance - every sick day, every repair delay will cause a larger ripple than before. Safety isn’t lucrative in the short timeline of a pump and dump.
Is there transit on both ends as one of the challenges with rail in NA is once you arrive at your destination, it can be hard to make that last mile or so transit. It also has to be as fast or faster overall than driving and it has to be cheaper as people will just default to cars again. That has been my experience living in cities around the world.
This is a fun series, but has been getting increasingly bizarre, even by its own standards.
I kinda wish they put a little bit more effort into the anime (overhead wires, signals, correct tracks, etc.) but the fact that it all takes place after the 7G event makes these issues handwaveable.
same as the interstate highway. federally owned alignments, rails, signals, etc enable private operators to offer transport services based out of private yards
Hopefully the implementation is done in a well and thoughtful way, such as connected stations in city centers and outskirt towns.
It would also be nice to see these stations interconnected with transit hubs such as subways/trams/buses, and have a pedestrian orientation focus with cycle infrastructure included.
It would be a shame to see these station built outside of walking distance of any surrounding communities in the middle of nowhere with a carpark all around. Something similar to a Walmart Supercenter parking lot.
You can see on the California government website where the current plan is to integrate with each part of the city. Many of the bigger population centres will have stations right at (what sound like to me as) major transit hubs. Unfortunately, the 2030 target is for operation between Bakersfield - Madera, so the parts around SF and LA will still take a bit longer than that.
