I just watched a very interesting video on the #REM. It discusses some of the technical questions, but more importantly, it also addresses the organisational strategies used to get the project built quickly and (based upon a $9B estimated capital cost) cheaply on a per km basis.

This video has had the best explanation of the financing of the REM that I have come across.
