Electrification, a simple technicality, primarily shall be timely, thus safely providing for high quality service rendered to clients.
In fact current “down take” system was timely, when steam was shifted out…
Track, as well has to adopt.. Short heavy trains are better, than long, etc.
Quality pays, in particular within transports, where low risk handsomely is rewarded, by willingly paying clients.
