Not quite. In 1978, it cost the Souther Pacific approximately $1M a
mile to build a conventional railroad. Now that did include
aqucisition of ROW, but still.
The best guess I've heard in a whle came from "Mad Max" Goldblatt,
who, in about 1984, presented a plan to the Dallas city council, to
build a monorail between Plano and downtown Dallas at a cost of about
$3M a mile, using existing ROW down Central Distressway.
I suspect the number is now closer to $5M. |
