Oops--I forgot to include crossings (assuming most have been removed--I've not driven along the Harbor Sub corridor area, so I'm not sure if anything's active). I have absolutely no idea how many crossings are on the line, but even assuming there are 100 (which would be four per mile!), at $1 million apiece, I would be surprised if the entire cost of providing Metrolink service on the Harbor Sub were to exceed $250 million in capital costs (still less than 10% of Mr. Reed's baseline assumption).
Then again, I am just a nobody who don't know nothin'...
