California Train to Nowhere

[George Harris]

Well at least they should put it near downtown and put a trolley station in it like Santa Fe, and have the Coaster and the Surfliner terminate there as well.

It was the station for the Surfliner/Coaster I was talking about.

Really, you could make the same argument during the construction of the Interstate system. It was built in sections, often non-contiguous and not connecting major cities. One of the oldest Interstate legs in Arizona is I-8 between Gila Bend and Casa Grande, built 1962-1965. Hardly anyone drove between those cities, so I-8 was an Interstate to nowhere and should have never been built.

Of course, that's dumb. It was a segment that became a part of a larger system.

Mr. Harris, wishing you all the best of luck in getting this started IMHO California is a leader and role model for embracing rail after years of promoting car travel.

And Los Angeles to San Diego:from a junction point just south of Los Angeles Union Station to:

City of Industry

Ontario Airport

UC Riverdale (not far from San Bernandino)

Murrieta

Escondido

University City

San Diego

There is no UC-Riverdale. There is a UC-Riverside, however.

Noted. I would go back and correct it, but I can't.

If there were a UC-Riverdale, you might see Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty, Veronica, etc., among the student body.

I don't know if they'd ride HSR, though.
