Keep beating that dead horse! It's always amusing to watch pontificating by people from out of the area with no real concept of local demographics. The TAMC plan is to eventually extend Capitol Corridor trains to Salinas if and when money materializes. This will require proper CTC from Gilroy to Salinas, power switches, a holding pen/servicing facilities at Salinas, extra train sets, etc. An express bus from Monterey to connect to this service at Castroville makes more sense than light rail or direct heavy rail service via a rebuilt branch. The notion of "if you build it they will come" just doesn't fly in this case.
