This is why we turn our heat in the basement up before leaving for vacation. The couple bucks worth of heating is worth it. If your basement is nice and warm your house can stay above freezing for awhile should the power go out.

The cost of tunneling is dropping drastically with each decade too. I was wondering if we would get a railway/interstate from Rutland to white river after tunneling gets sufficiently cheap and the traffic gets bad enough. I-92 was supposed to go that route but was never built. It’s one reason there is an interstate like route near Bennington.

It was planned with routes laid out at one point. Parts of the white river to Woodstock railroad right of way and grade are still visible. They tried to continue to Rutland but it wasn’t viable at the time.

As someone that seems to be a fellow rail enthusiast, do you happen to know what All Earth Rail’s planned route is?

They also have more sophisticated and efficient flangers and spreaders.
