https://www.facebook.com/groups/153657183399/ Union Pacific's Bailey Yard in North Platte Nebraska, At 11:49 the cameras spotted the arrival and crew change of Northlander Siemens set #2 on it's delivery trip from Sacramento California March 7th.

If it is HSR between C-E, my guess is a stop in Red Deer. Thar may be good enough.

I do wonder how feasible a slow speed daily train with multiple stops serving these communities would do to placate some of the residents that live along the route. Move that100% to 75%, to even lower.The question that is being asked, and is not being answered is "How do we benefit from this?"...

How would ALTO have better done this to have those small communities that will not have an ALTO stop support it?

The federal government should support this. They are supporting ALTO.

What was the general attitude of the citizens?

Yeah... There is no pricing on the Northlander. The speculation is wild though. So, for ALTO, we have 15 years to speculate.

As understand it it will be no more different than Via is now. So, no extra security to contend with. Just go to your gate, show your ticket and ID and board your train.

So, really it is about land speculation vs NIMBYism?

To show the area where the less than 500m ROW will be?

I feel this current NIMBYism won't slow the project down. With the projected speeds, if you want to ignore all the time you need to spend being at an airport early, ALTO will never be competitive. However, if you factor that in, ALTO may get you there just as fast.

The above is what all started this.

I have not seen another project have such a wide study area. Is there some other example that can be used to show how this is normal?

So, what is needed to fix the existing routing?

See those lines? Look at what ALTO has released. See how there are no lines? That is what I am talking of.If I were not someone who had a little understanding of the railways (and it very little), if that was released to me, I might be worried too. I think I may be misunderstanding what the...
