I'll believe it when I'm on it.

Right? This has been rehashed so many times over the years. I've lost count.

I really hope they connect to SF or LA soon after. That train is going to be empty without one of those two cities.

What? It doesn’t go to LA or SF? What is the freaking point? All this will do is encourage more ticky tacky townhomes in the middle of nowhere along Highway 5.

"okay but what if single-occupancy trains where every possible destination has its own train yard that you can pay to leave your single occupancy train in? They would leave on your schedule and go where you're going."

Sounds brilliant. I bet we can find some fee-waived trainyards in popular areas too.
