<div dir="ltr"><div>Agreed! That felt very productive and useful.</div><div><br></div><div>I've wondered if it wouldn't be worth getting a list together specifically for CA/MX/US rail mappers, since we have so much more in common between the three than we do different between the countries where rail is concerned. Plus, I do get the sense that a large majority of the talk-US list may not have much interest in the rail project, so it'd give us a place to work through minutiae when it's not a question big enough (with any non-rail effects) to trouble everyone else. </div><div><br></div><div>Chuck<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jul 4, 2020 at 6:22 PM Natfoot <<a href="mailto:natfoot@gmail.com">natfoot@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks for attending everyone.

I mentioned an article which classifies light-rail tram-trains into FOUR categories (not three) in an interesting way:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://pedestrianobservations.com/2019/07/31/what-is-light-rail-anyway" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pedestrianobservations.com/2019/07/31/what-is-light-rail-anyway</a><br>
<br>
The gist of the logic for doing this comes from this introduced table of classifications based upon speed of travel in both the center and outlying areas of the line in question:<br>
<br>
Slow in center Fast in center<br>
Slow in outlying areas Tramway Subway-surface<br>
Fast in outlying areas Tram-train Rapid transit<br>
<br>
(I hope those tabs work for your email display).<br>

Interesting article, VERY interesting (and lively — 68 Comments!) Comments Section. Enjoy.<br>
