HSR really wants total seperation, zero crossings, no shared traffic. That is what ultimately allows safe high speed travel.
Otherwise you are slowing down everywhere and can only run as fast as other trains on the line, unless you also impact their services by having them pull off.
- realityking 3y agoThis is how German HSR works, large part of the track are shared between freight and passenger trains with only some limited exceptions. They are however actively removing crossings and generally everything HSR is electrified.
