POLL: A 'Blended' High-Speed Rail System and Electrified Caltrain?
A movement by local elected officials is pushing to electrify Caltrain with High Speed Rail dollars.
With Caltrain's future on the rocks, elected officials are turning to the High Speed Rail Authority to help fund a major electrification effort that would replace Caltrain's diesel trains with electric ones.
In exchange, the Authority would be able to run high-speed trains up the Peninsula on the new tracks. Locals have been thoroughly opposed to running four tracks up the Peninsula, however. But the option for a "blended" system, , is on the table. Do you support it?
