Agreed. TAMC has a lot of dreams that just aren't feasible, but that doesn't seem to stop them.

1. Caltrain extension to Salinas: Major upgrades to UP's track needed, but no money for it. Also, the demand is questionable. Not a lot of people commute to the Bay Area from Monterey County.

2. Light rail from Castroville to Seaside or Monterey: Again, will there be more people going between those places on a trolley than now take the bus? I had a discussion about it with the AGM of Monterey Salinas Transit (the proposed operator) several years ago. He saw the project as just a way for TAMC to use federal funds. He didn't think it made any sense, but if TAMC paid them to run the trains, they'd be happy to do it.
