<p>Speaking of the LA-San Diego corridor, who owns the track? At one time, of course, it was owned by the AT&SF. </p> <p>Also, after Solana Beach, heading toward San Diego, the rail line turns away from the coast to climb over a fairly high ridge line. The track, with numerous curves, winds up the side of the mountain or ridge. The train slows to less than 35 mph by my guess. It appears that increasing speeds on this portion of the line would require a major re-build. Why was the line built this way as opposed to running along the coast? </p> <p>If the taxes in California were not so high, I would consider moving to San Diego and taking an apartment in one of the new apartment buildings overlooking the San Diego depot. Nothing like walking our your front door and stepping onto a train for wherever.</p>
