Indeed, a “change of mind” now is needed!…
(Regardless of “expectations”…for clients, that have shifted strategy, to On Demand, now quality of service rendered is too low!)
“Voids” and “hung sleepers”, etc., no longer are accepted! Neither are standards, optimal between WWI and II! (Yes, composite has got an edge – but for replacing wood.)
Resiliency, readiness for the rapid shifts at Market, has to be provided for!
(All other modes, those robust, sustainably add load capacity, etc., etc..)
