Posted by WillD on Mon Mar 19 20:58:45 2012, in response to Re: PHOTOS: CALTRAN CALTRAIN IV, posted by jace on Mon Mar 19 09:55:32 2012. The latest change to the business plan hinted at by the current head of the CHSRA indicates they will allocate around a billion dollars to accelerate the upgrade of Caltrain. With any luck they'll go with ECTS Level II right off the bat and dump the redundant CBOSS thing Caltrain has pursued to this point.But with the Caltrain corridor electrified earlier in the project service from the Central Valley to San Fran need only wait for the mountain crossing. IMHO Altamont, particularly the alignment laid out by the French engineering firm Setec, is looking like a better alternative than Pacheco. It's unfortunate that Metrolink has been at best apathetic to the efforts of the high speed rail authority because it makes the Sylmar-LAUPT segment a bit useless before crossing either Tehachapi or Tejon. |
