U.S. High Speed Rail - Atlanta To Charlotte Greenfield Preferred Alternative Route Analysis HSR

Описание: Investigating the preferred alternative Greenfield route of the planned high speed rail line between Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina via the Greenfield - Spartanburg, South Carolina area.

A little different on this one because I'm attempting to resolve a route chosen in an environmental impact statement rather than picking one I like independent of any study. This route has been studied to the point of a Tier 1 Record of Decision, which means the chosen route is ready for more in depth study in a Tier 2 analysis. A Record of Decision on a Tier 2 analysis would be 90% of the to actual construction.

You may notice the video poses a question or two for you, the viewer. Let me know what your opinion in the comments.

I will be doing more of these types of videos. If you have a suggestion for a city pair of 1 million+ each with no large metros between, please let me know and I will consider it and might make a video about it.
