1. FRA national regs despite grinding teeth guarantee interoperability.
2. correct, the Balkanization is a constant threat. think Atherton whining about Baby Bullets
3. the long term solution in LOSSAN as many others is multiple tracks so that locals, expresses, ltds, are feasible w/ reliability
4. about BART, less said more polite
5. BTW USRA was brilliant--Harriman Common Standard for all. One of the reasons UP doesn't buy "son of Centennials" is standardization --too bad we don't have similar MU models.
It is both insane AND wasteful, for Septa, MTA, NJT, Metra Electric each to go to bid on custom short production runs.
