      <title>AS FAST AS A SPEEDING BULLET: REBUILDING THE NORRISTOWN HIGH-SPEED LINE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/370915</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Norristown High-Speed Line of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, formerly the Philadelphia & Western Railway, is a 13.5-mi high-speed, grade-separated, high-platform light rail line that opened in 1907 but had fallen on hard times in recent years.  Its rolling stock, although revolutionary at the time of its construction 60 years earlier, was in growing need of replacement, and virtually every aspect of the little commuter line required replacement or rebuilding.  Less than 10 years ago, the decision was made to rebuild the entire line, and nearly $160 million has been expended or committed to once again make the Norristown High-Speed Line the showpiece of light rail lines.  The rebuilding of the line includes new cars, a complete reconstruction of the maintenance shops, renewal of the substations, a new signal system, a new terminal on one end and a renovated terminal on the other end, new pedestrian bridges and some new highway bridges, improvements to other bridges, and major track improvements.]]></description>
