>Put another way, the resistance of cm-diameter copper, which is typical for overhead lines, is about .09 ohms/mile. For 50 mile spacing of substations, the average train is 12 miles from the nearest one, which gives a line impedance of 1 ohm.

What about the other part of the circuit: the steel rails?? (Don't forget the skin effect).
