Amtrak runs intercity rail serving Pennsylvania ststion. MARC (Mass Transit Administration Maryland) runs commuter rail, heavy rail, and light rail. The commuter rail runs from Camden and Pennsylvania Stations to D.C. The one serving Penn station also runs into the northern suburbs. The heavy rail runs partially in subway and partially elevated from Johns Hopkins west into the suburbs. The light rail runs north south using Howard Street in the downtown. It is all on the surface except for a few bridges. The Germans call Commuter rail -- S-Bahn, heavy rail -- U-Bahn, and light -- rail trams. We used to call it sreetcars or trolley cars. >Which one were you referring to in the 16M dollar [per mile] posting? As I said, the light rail. >>Robotic? Undergroung real estate? What are you talking about? > > >You wrote to me about underground robotic recharging stations for >EV's. > That was somebody else, I opt for simplicity. Marty Bernard
