Greetings Monorailers! Thought I'd just check in to say Hello... Good to see everyone has been keeping an eye on the various developments in transit and...
Ok, lets look at the possible senarios for a derailment that puts a train in the lake. 1) there is a jersey barrier between the train and the lake. 2) most...
Oh sorry 'bout that. I was referring to the actual placement of the track sections. The off-site fabrication is totally the same, yeah. But, like I said, even...
It's really no better or worse, it's just different. In the case of MR, the guideway is almost completely built offsite. In the cast of the newer LR designs,...
for whatever reason, the digest was completely blank - completely. Nada, zip, zilch, zero, nothing. perhaps there's a problem with the server? chas ... 3903 SW...
The jersey barrier shape redirects a vehicle (which had been traveling alongside the barrier) by deflecting its motion upward so the vehicle does not cross...
Still pretty extensive though: http://www.soundtransit.org/newsroom/photo/ph_20060324_20060331.asp ... are built offsite, and these segments are wired together...
The foundation shown there is for a longspan structure adjacent to the Duwamish River in poor soil. The monorail proposed for the GL would have essentially...
The use of a soundwall is minimized along the elevated segment. These are only used when in close proximity to residences. The open barrier seen along SR-518...
as always, Chris, you've phrased it all much better. btw: I hope I've not butchered anything along the way in terms of the two construction methods,...

Please excuse my skepticism: 1. Fabricating monorail guideway beams seems relatively simple compared to fabricating segments of a post-tensioned viaduct with ...
Hey we'll see if an LR guideway up to the intersection of Alaska & Fauntleroy would be acceptable in West Seattle, or at the very least 35th & Avalon - from...
I can't see under, given the soils, so you're left with at-grade or elevated. If you did something similar to Vancouver's SkyTrain, you'd get less resistance...
There's alot of good points here. I really admire the Vassilakos' knowledge in all of this. =) Anyways, I thought I'd emphasize some oppostion to at-grade...
The link below provides the city's vision for the Green Line Corridor. They are calling it "BRT"; however, dedicated bus lanes are being considered for only...
I was wondering if Kevin O., whereever thou art, could add the Chongqing monorail (C.M.) to his Links list on the FoM site. =) Also, if you guys haven't...
