Whow!
Remains, for industry of railway, to prove equally innovative!
Regrettably standard at track infrastructure installed, already at last century did pass b f d.
As upgradable, all other modes, for meeting demand of Market (lower costs, etc.) add load capacity.
Now, single option for added weight at railway (Edge of Industry) is longer trains.
Accordingly, regardless of an impressing economic life length, the economic dito is Zero – and Industry remains “cemented”…, at mercy of taxpayers.
