I haven't heard anything. The ex Metra commuter cars for the service are still stored out at Jacumba. I took this picture a few weeks back.
Hey John, what do you live in Deluz or something? If yes, is that the Deluz in the hills of Temecula?
Chad if you did see those cars, does that mean that they really are going to have a commuter train in TJ? I haven't heard a thing about this. Is there a website that I can learn about this commuter train?

Hey Zak, Those cars have been sitting there as long as I have lived here (almost 2 years). Where I took that from is as close as I could get without tresspasing. I don't know of any websites. when I discovered them I asked about them here on the forum. I was told they were for a future commuter service to Tecate. That's the last I heard about it till this thread.
I have never gone into Jacumba proper (if I did I didn't know it) At the interstate there is a couple gas stations. To get that shot I had to navagate a few roads that were barely more the ruts. Those commuter cars and some hoppers were the only cars I saw.
Have fun with your trains
I saw this and thought that maybe they are starting their own museum.
