    I really appreciate the raised platforms that China builds for its rail tracks. They’re used extensively in urban and rural areas, allowing wildlife, people, and vehicle traffic to cross, thereby making it safer for all parties involved (especially rail passengers).

    OTOH I’ve never seen a raised rail platform in the US that wasn’t part of a necessitated bridge. So many accidents like the one I posted this morning could easily be made impossible with a little bit of up-front spending.

      Its a pretty common way to do rail transit worldwide, reaching back a century. Scroll to the “Americas” section if you want some US examples.

    Cope, if China’s plans are so good, why do Americans not ask for poverty alleviation models, subway stations, city designs, and trains from China yet Chinese people love Marvel movies?
