If that cost of capital is 5 percent (as I said, everything is debatable), then the up-front capital cost is $2.5 million a mile per year, or $600 million for a 240-mile line. The other cost that is independent of the number of riders is track maintenance.One recent European estimate puts that cost at $140,000 a mile per year for a two-track system. A feasibility study of high-speed rail in Britain came up with the considerably higher figure of $493,000 a mile for surface trains.Iâll stay closer to the lower estimate and go with $200,000 a mile per year, which brings the fixed costs of the track up to $648 million per annum.f that cost of capital is 5 percent (as I said, everything is debatable), then the up-front capital cost is $2.5 million a mile per year, or $600 million for a 240-mile line.

Staph: Mrsa stands for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. This is the name of a specific type of staph bacteria that is not curable / treatable by methicillin (a penicillin like drug). In most instances penicillin and cephalosporin type antibiotics will not kill mrsa.et help from a doctor now âº. MRSA: Mrsa is the abbreviation for methicillin resistant staph aureus. It is an infection with a bacteria that has figured out how to avoid being killed by usually effective antibiotics. Most mrsa, if you have a healthy immune system is curable.
However, what most people don't realize is that MRSA infections are part of a growing trend of superbugâbacterial infections that are resistant to one or more antibiotic(s) that would normally treat the bacteria. 1  In fact, any bacteria can evolve into a superbug. While superbugs can be successfully treated, they are much more challenging than garden-variety infections because, by definition, while a superbug isn't necessarily resistant to all antibiotics, it cannot be treated using two or more.
