To meet stability requirements, grades seldom exceed three percent (a rise of 3 metres over 100 metres) and the tracks are constructed with long gentle curves. Moreover, since the tracks are permanent, railway companies invest considerable sums of money in their construction ...

No small technological feat. This is the "little" engine that could. And will." ... cleandieseltrains ...
