Message: [QUOTE="alphasigko, post: 3850139, member: 8154"] Great article that illustrates in detail what can happen to a worthy project when faced with cost escalations/issues and "environmental concerns". Thanks for sharing. It is interesting that the High Speed Rail article pegs the cost of the line (including the tunnel under LIS) to be $105 Billion over 20 years! I cannot begin to predict what the final cost would be given inflation over that lengthy period of time! Also, given the legal difficulties in obtaining ROW and Environmental studies, filings, reviews and court cases, it is certainly doubtful this project would ever get off the ground. [/QUOTE]
