Forced inconvenient transfer instead of San Joaquin single service using the new tracks. Bureaucratic turf protection. Passengers be damned. Maximize pain to extort future money. "You must fund more else this is useless." The favorite gimmick of the ObaMarxists. Why Merced to wasco was first. And Bakersfield to LA is last. The most important last. The most useful last. Extortion technique.
Will Wasco to Bakersfiled be to the existing station? Or to the proposed stranded white elephant until LA is reached in 2050?
