San Joaquin capacity increase
Posted by blue streak 1 on Monday, May 27, 2013 6:59 PM

San Joa authority announced start of refurbished Comet cars at Beech Grove to 2 of the San Joaquin train sets for just Bakersfield - Oak service..  This will allow move of displaced bi-level equipment to the other 2 train sets, to the Capital corridor train sets, and return a couple cars to Amtrak for the Summer travel season.  Longer trains allows more ridership & revenue.  .
