How difficult is it to convert regular freight train tracks to commuter train tracks, like light rail?
Q. I'm curious about why there seems to be so little use of commuter trains on normal freight railroad tracks. Is this an issue of compatibility or who owns the railroad tracks?

A. DTT is absolutely correct. The problem lies not with plant or structure, but rather with the carriers themselves. It comes down to the money, which means move freight = make money. Passenger rail is a major pain for common carriers. In the case of AMTRAK operations, railroads are paid "on time incentive" each time an AMTRAK train covers a given distance "on time". In this instance, "on time" means that even if a passenger train is late when entering the territory it will be no later when leaving the territory. The theory is that these payments will off set the loss incurred in delaying freight traffic so that passenger traffic can have a shot at staying on time. It doesn't. This is why carriers don't want to afford trackage… [cont.]
