The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing direct high speed rail service from Richmond to South Hampton Roads via Petersburg and Suffolk using existing rail lines. The study is a Fatal Flaws analysis which is directed to determine if there are conditions which would make high speed rail service extremely difficult or impractical to implement. The main objectives of the proposed service are to minimize the end-to-end rail travel time and maximize capacity in order to provide fast, frequent, reliable and comfortable passenger service, and to maintain and enhance the ability of the host railroads to move freight in the same corridor. |
