When I lived in San Diego, CA (1980's and 90's) there was occasionally talk of the state starting up a passenger line from Phoenix west over the mountains to San Diego.http://maps.google.c...9,0.009645&z=17

I can't find any freight lines that headed east from San Diego. There is one twisty-turny line that heads into Mexico and then back to the US, but that's it, and even that does not quite head east all the way to the to the ex-SP main. It finally turns north and joins the ex-SP main along the UP Mexicali line, which it joins at El Centro. And even that line connecting San Diego to El Centro along that route is apparently is not fully in place anymoreWhen I lived in San Diego, CA (1980's and 90's) there was occasionally talk of the state starting up a passenger line from Phoenix west over the mountains to San Diego.
Apparently there were freight lines? Guess nothing ever came of it, and of course today no one has the money for that.
