	View Report - SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT LINKS RENEWABLES TO RAILWAYS
		The intercity railway will gain momentum with the inexorable constricting of surface transport with the onset of peaking oil, and the necessity to move more freight trans-Sierra via rail, as well as the growth in passenger numbers.
		The existing Sierra rail crossings will be inadequate to meet the growth in traffic, and are slow running as well.
		The 1869 & 1909 rail line capacity will be severely strained as the effects of oil depletion take hold, and shall prove inadequate; hence the US50/American River (HydroPower at hand) rail crossing is requisite.
