Don't forget HECO will make a KILLING when taxpayers have to pay them to build a NEW fossil fuel electric generator to power the rail AND taxpayers will have to pay the electric bill FOREVER for the massively overweight trains and electricity rates are the highest in the country.  HECO and their workers will make another killing in profits all at taxpayers expense for the massive relocation of electrical infrastructure for the town section, especially from Dillingham Blvd all the way to Ala Moana center.  Extreme costs and delays will also occur for relocation of gas, water and sewage lines all along the rail path because the rail columns are so massive & there are NO accurate maps of these underground lines since they were laid out in the early/mid 1900's and no one knows exactly where these lines are buried until they actually dig it up.  Ground penetrating radar survey would help but that does not change the requirement of completing shutting down major Honolulu roads to move them.
