A pity it is, but railway industry, devastatingly is “cementing”, at elderly standards.
“BUILD”, FED US device, simply is defensive, etc.
All other modes, those resilient…, upgrade, for lower costs – and accordingly handsomely are rewarded, by willingly paying clients.
(Broken rails, now by far most frequent cause of derailments and “optimal maintenance” tells about an infrastructure, no longer optimal.)
At investments, at reinvestments, etc. the needed upgrading, has to be provided for!
