Actually zero, because high-speed tracks have to be separated. Grade crossings are the principal reason why we can’t have high-speed rail in this country.
Nitehawk, I don’t consider myself liberal but I’d much prefer high speed rail to messing around being irradiated by TSA goons and dealing with the frustrating airlines, weather, their fragile computers, and their nickel and dime fees for intermediate range trips. As someone else said, high speed rail requires that there be no crossings.
The constant fear and talk about terrorism is just the frame of mind that they want us to be kept perpetually in, afraid of our own shadow and willing to hand over the Constitution and controls to TSA type goons and spend all of our treasury making the Chertoff’s rich, and impossibly covering every contingency.
The driver was probably distracted by texting or something, or he fell asleep. If he was hauling gravel he probably wasn’t one of the Mexican drivers that the big trucking companies now want to saturate America with. We need to know more.
