One of the main objectives was the determination of the limits to high-speed operation imposed by existing rail route alignments and profiles, based upon studies of existing railroad valuation track maps. These studies were translated into the charted changes, presented herein, which would permit minimum train speeds of 100 miles per hour. In addition to this, four alternate routes were studied to develop alignments which give promise of greater speed capabilities within the area. All the routes studied, including two which are not compatible with conventional rail operations, are shown in a Map.
