Hm…, RFG wants, but ware owners, clients, do not afford luxury of not caring about “eta”, not even Niche clients do.
For a sound, sustainable shift to rails, quality offered has to be equal, or better than by alternative.
Standards, optimal at shift from steam, now longer are timely, simple as that!

Electrification, yes, but a timely, etc., etc.
(High quality at supply chains, now mean low risk.)
