Let me see if I read this correctly in the posting about CalTrain service to Salinas:

"While a Union Pacific spokesperson said the freight rail service would be willing to sit down and determine "even if additional commuter trains would be feasible," Weinberg cautioned the tracks are not yet in suitable condition for the commuter rail to travel at full speed. If trains cannot run at 79 mph, Caltrain could not maintain its current 95 percent on-time rate."

"If trains cannot run at 79 mph (yada yada yada..)..." which means the bright lights hooting here are actually thinking about SEVENTY NINE MILES AN HOUR BETWEEN GILROY AND SALINAS.

Ye Gods. Oh, Holy Sweetwater. Whoo Hoo.

Obviously (!) they've never seen the existing tracks. Or driven the route that goes by Aromas. (Or drawn a sober breath lately, but I digress.)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAAAHAAA (gasp) HAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAHAAHAHAHAAHAAAHAA...!!!!!
