FEATURES 18 Miami transit: On schedule, on budgetConstruction of the Stage 1, 20-mile, 20-station, elevated line is now close to the one-third point-and the $867-million project is within its original budget and on schedule for a planned 1984 opening.
26 Airport rail lines: A wrong way, a right wayAround 20 major cities now have airport rail access. Some have done it well-among them, Zurich and Frankfurt-and some not so well: Washington, Mexico City, and Paris. This article explores the differences.

34 Electrification: Who will be first?In the last 20 years, railroads throughout the world have electrified 60,000 miles of line, of which only 120 miles have been in the U.S. Several roads are far advanced with studies; the big problem is high initial cost.
