Super railway for USA

Abstract

[OBJECT]To greatly reduce the passenger and freight traffic on highways and greatly reduce the consumption of petroleum due to short-distance domestic air traffic by the use of railway, so as to contribute to energy saving and mitigation of air pollution, and reduce the transportation costs through high speed and efficient transportation of people and goods. [SOLUTION MEANS]Railroad are constructed in uninhabited areas to connect a plurality of cities, with no stations constructed on the main tracks and railway interchanges are constructed instead that are provided with side tracks branching out from the main tracks or leading to the main tracks, so that a train bound to a particular town is directed through the railway interchange to a terminal constructed outside the town.

1 . A new high-speed railroad system comprising railways constructed in uninhabited areas to connect a plurality of cities, wherein stations are not constructed on the main tracks and railway interchanges are constructed instead that are provided with side tracks branching out from the main tracks or leading to the main tracks, so that a train bound to a particular town is directed through the railway interchange to a terminal constructed outside the town.  
   
   
       2 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein said terminal is an automobile passenger terminal connecting to a highway interchange, provided with platforms where trains from the high-speed railroad and automobiles from the highway can enter.  
   
   
       3 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein said terminal is a truck terminal connecting to the highway interchange, provided with platforms where trains from the high-speed railroad and trucks from the highway can enter.  
   
   
       4 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein said terminal is a passenger terminal constructed adjacent to an airport, provided with platforms where trains from the high-speed railroad can enter, a bus terminal and a parking lot.  
   
   
       5 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein said terminal is a freight handling terminal constructed adjacent to an airport, provided with freight handling platforms where trains from the high-speed railroad can enter, a truck terminal and a parking lot for trucks.  
   
   
       6 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein said railway interchange comprises loop tracks including turnout tracks diverting from the main tracks, said loop tracks being connected with the terminal by side tracks.  
   
   
       7 . The new high-speed railroad system according to  claim 1 , wherein service motorways are constructed along the railway.
