Rolling stock lives for many decades and replacing it early is cost prohibitive. So I don’t think changing something about the trains is the best option for reducing noise.
- lukan 2y agoBuilding noise barriers everywhere is probably expensive as well.
- Gravityloss 2y agocould the old wagons have noise canceling skirts?
- adrianN 2y agoYou only have to build them were tracks are close to homes.
- b112 2y agoYet up-post said "miles" from homes. That means a lot more tha just close to houses. It means miles from towns.
- adrianN 2y ago„Can be heard“ is not the problem we’re trying to fix, and no reasonable amount of engineering can fix that . Maybe if you converted everything to maglev and limited speeds to 20mph.
- lukan 2y agoIf something can be heard miles away, it usually means it is very loud close by. And this could be reduced.
