really? well i guess that goes to show I shouldn't have opened my big mouth without all the facts. Is it privately run or public?

If it is sucessful as a public train then IMO they should sell it off to a private company.

Amtrak California is what's known as a 503(b) operation, with reference to the National Rail Passenger Act of 1970. Currently, in California, Amtrak bids against only one private firm, Herzog, which currently operates the Altamount Commuter Express in the Bay Area.
