Preliminary Costs per Train Mile ($2010) Results reflect Higher Costs for Dedicated Track, Electrification Maintenance and a dedicated Management structure in the HSR scenarios; offset by economies of scale efficiencies 16
Task 7: Capital Costs 2010 capital unit costs have been developed CAPITAL COST CATEGORIES Land and right-of-way Sub-grade, structures and guideway Track Rolling stock Signals and communications Electrification Demolition Stations Maintenance and facilities Highway and railroad crossings Farm and animal crossings Pedestrian crossings Fencing 17
