Some of you may be interested to read this post over at this other site that I read a lot. The Oil Drum | Multiple Birds – One Silver BB: A synergistic set of solutions to multiple issues focused on Electrified Railroads This particular post is focused on railroads, so I thought it appropriate to mention here. Some of you may have knowledgeable perspectives on the author's ideas or numbers. I won't summarize here all the other issues that The Oil Drum is all about. happy reading...
Interesting... they say that only 93% of Switzerland's railways are electrified, but I've never seen any photos of Swiss diesels.
Apparently at least some part of the other 7% is steam sight-seeing railways. I think it's mentioned somewhere in the article.
