your welcome to start your own thread here , roger , asking that question .
they ha started working on a higher speed line out form mexico city when i was there in the late eighties . form what ic ould see of it , it looked like they were trying to spend as much money as possible in as few miles .
They had concrete bridges where the line was only a few metres off the ground , and the bridges had concrete side panels . i.e they looked like motorway structures . i quess they were designed by road orientated engineers . It was electrified too . whether it made it into use before passenger trains were abolished , i dony know

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
