Only from Colton? Why not from downtown LA? And how many tracks? Don't forget another flyover or 2 at the BNSF crossing for connector tracks. And grade seps at all the existing grade crossings, for passenger safety (and faster freight trains).
Wasn't "build a new railroad; we'll rent you the r/w" more or less what they told Amtrak they wanted to let the Sunset go daily? So, at least they're consistent.
