Quote:you are assuming something not in
evidence, namely freight is going to be eliminated, all the original post stated, was that UP was pulling out of the peninsula, no where did it
state, that freight service was going to be eliminated
I agree, it will not be eliminated. I think it is likely that a shortline contractor will have less leverage with Caltrain than the UP, and that Caltrain may be able to limit freight requirements in various ways, e.g., like conservative grade requirements. I do not know enough about this to know where FRA rules would come in.....
