From the article it sounds like they are replacing a lot of older trains in the north and east and nothing about expanding or opening new lines (or reopening old ones).

My family loves riding trains (my wife just today came back from California on the train) but we live in the Phoenix area and have to drive two hours to Tucson to catch one. Her train left LA at 10:30 last night and arrived in Tucson at 7:30 AM. I had to get up at 4:00 AM and drive 2 hours to pick her up.

Used to be multiple train stations in my town and in Phoenix, but no more. Wish they'd bring them back.

Can’t she catch a train in Maricopa?
