Now is the time to double the rail bed width of the network. This would make the cost per mile for shipping lower and allow passenger accommodations to be either roomier or cheaper by doubling the capacity per car. A wider rail bed would also allow the cars to be more stable with a wider footprint. The construction could be simplified by only laying one more rail adjacent to the existing rails and reusing one of the existing rails for the new track bed. This also allows the new track to be laid without affecting current rail usage.
