Re: Looks like said by hamburglar_:I would agree with this. The Miami leg is not really a ring. Now maybe they are going down on side of the tracks and up the other side? Seems silly to not make it a ring somehow. Service via the fiber to the whole city could be out with a single cut anywhere in the leg without it. |

| A bad enough derailment would take out your ring. In some cases it may be worth the savings to risk some downtime. |

| Agreed, I have seen train derailments dig down 8' before, that would take out almost any buried fiber. Also, true diversity for something like this, would require the fiber paths to be much further apart than a few dozen feet. Also, a crew boring across some tracks that hit the cable on one side, could just as easily hit another cable buried on the other. |

| Those things on the railroad right-of-way is quite common anyway. I work in the signals department for CSX and you cant put in a new crossing on any line without fiber or in some instances gas lines running along the tracks. Another run of fiber on most rail lines wont make a bit of difference, after all the railroad does make money off the leases in the process. |
