Super railway for USA

Abstract

[OBJECT]To greatly reduce the passenger and freight traffic on highways and greatly reduce the consumption of petroleum due to short-distance domestic air traffic by the use of railway, so as to contribute to energy saving and mitigation of air pollution, and reduce the transportation costs through high speed and efficient transportation of people and goods. [SOLUTION MEANS]Railroad are constructed in uninhabited areas to connect a plurality of cities, with no stations constructed on the main tracks and railway interchanges are constructed instead that are provided with side tracks branching out from the main tracks or leading to the main tracks, so that a train bound to a particular town is directed through the railway interchange to a terminal constructed outside the town.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to the construction of a new high-speed railroad system in the United States. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] 1. The quantity of petroleum (gasoline, heavy oil, etc.) consumed as the fuel for motor vehicles that account for a large proportion of the land transportation has been growing to a tremendous level. In the meantime, exhaust emissions from motor vehicles have been aggravating the problem of air pollution. [0005] 2. Air transportation is the most vulnerable to terrorist attacks, and is often subjected to service interruption due to troubles such as bad weather conditions and aircraft troubles. [0006] 3. Railroads used in the transportation of passengers and freight today involve a number of stations located between the origin and destination, thus resulting in much time taken to reach the destination. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] It is intended to construct a n...
