What makes track maintenance expensive?
- maratc 4y agoTrack maintenance is expensive because you need to buy tracks, signalling systems, and railroad switches, and pay the people to install, check, and maintain them. Air is already there and requires no maintenance.
- mupuff1234 4y agoA lot of that sounds like the initial investment you need to put it, I was more wondering about the maintenance part. I assume most of the equipment is supposed to last decades, and maintenance itself can be automated to a degree (use the trains themselves to run track diagnostics for example).
