just to keep things in perspective, the SMP was proposing a finance plan with a 5:1 debt repayment ratio ($11.4B:$2.26B) spread over 50+ years - well beyond,...
Anyone remember the "advisory" referendum in Los Angeles regarding rail options for San Fernando Valley? LA voters voted five-to-one for monorail. That was...

Just in case anyone is interested, the following are the cross- sectional dimensions that I have for various monorail trains: Height (Skirt-to-Roof) Hitachi...

Greg I have always had the greatest resoect for you and your posts and still do - but I'll tell you that on this you don't understand what she was like and...

I remember it well - You, me, Belinda, Walt, Jean, Daren (SeattleSky) setting the banners up the first time - you making us wait until you drove under before...
Hey, would you/anyone happen to know the total volume and weight of, say a 1-foot section, monorail large tracks and a 1-foot section of elevated light rail...
PRT guideways weigh in the neighborhood of about 100 lbs per linear foot, according to at least one vendor, one reason these systems will have much lower...
