For a long time I have been thinking of how the South African rail lines have slowly either dissappeared or degraded over the years. This is probably due to expensive labour costs and Transnet not having the money. If only Southern Africa could have a rail system like the USA.
Today I recieved a link to a video of a prototype railroad replacing track. It is absolutely awsome. Imagine one of these starting in Johannesburg and slowly winding its way down to Cape Town or Durban? How about not just replacing the track, but making it wider for bigger and faster trains? The possabilities are endless.
