“Sustainable mode”, hm…
(What happens when DB Schenker, no longer provides cash needed at DB Cargo, etc.?)
At “transit zones”, all along track system, at switches, etc. track standard, for sake of safety, etc., now call for frequent “maintenance”.
(“RCF”, simply fatigue of rail…, due to excessive forces and stress, reactive, is attended by grinding…, etc.)
Until root of fatigue is attended and outed, regrettably railway will depend upon subsidies, and remain a not sustainable mode.
Where “hung sleepers” appear, at each side of such, by “nature”, sleepers provide support for those now hanging. (“Transitzones”, now are constructed, with big sleepers.)
Big – and not anymore optimal sleepers – is a problem, as serious as any transverse culvert, or any sudden added track stiffness, by switches etc…, and Root of “RCF”- of Symptom – the now attended and maintained – by “maintenance”.
A new, a now optimal sleeper system, simply a New Old Railway, a sustainable, is needed!
