Because Palmdale is such an exciting destination, and right on the way! not.
Just drive.

Well if you want to see the wind turbines supplying the power for the choo choo. Hmm. Is riding that thing “known to cause cancer in the state of California”? My garden hose causes it. Good thing we’re in NV.

Another route another day in California’s longest running boondoggle.
It will never be built.
They can’t even decide WHERE it should be built.
Mexican Transport System. MTS.
As the boondoggle train’s routes go, at least that one would have paying passengers.
Rush from Burbank to Palmdale = ~ 90 minutes.
On a good day.
Ten pm - half that.
It will never be finished but will make alot of millionaires.
“who goes from Burbank to Palmdale? yikes.”
Well... you mean other than the meth lab deliveries?
If the crooks are pushing this train wanted a route that would actually get used it would be from SoCal to Las Vegas.
What about the LA/Bakersfield commute? These guys are abandoned now?
Yep. Run it Friday through Monday.
NO ONE in this state wants this IDIOTIC TRAIN to NOWHERE!!! This whole disaster IS greasing the palms of BIG political donors!!!
Now, there is a winner.
Tunnel through and across the San Andreas Fault.
What could go wrong?
Like the War on Terror the rail project is designed to last forever
I am STILL laughing at your post about Palmdale what a sad state of affairs the people of this state have NO CONTROL over!!!
Relocate LAX to Palmdale.
