Epistemic status: Main part is well-supported but may have some minor errors. The parts about potential future lines are inherently speculative. Small Train is Good Train A while ago, I wrote about how elevated trains are the greatest urbanism cheat code, increasing the amount of track miles you can build per dollar (or per year) by a factor of 2-4.
