Bridge To Raise

Have you seen the CAl Trans crew around the Horseshoe Bar over crossing? They are in the process of designing the lifting of the bridge over the freeway. While the projext is 2 or 3 years awayn it was a surprise to every one that it is going to happen. The Brace Road Horseshoe BAr and King Road Bridges do not meet Federal heigth requirements.
I knew that some day this would happen but had no idea or did anyone else that it was on CAl Trans work list

Union Pacific Refuses Additional Trains

Union Pacific has announced that it will not allow any additional commuter trains on the Capitol Corridor. This letter was in response to the State of California offer of 200 million dollars in transportation bond fund to Union Pacific for additional rail service.
The new rail service would of included 4 trains a day to Auburn which would of stopped in Loomis. When I was on the PCTC I convinced the board to include the Loomis stops in any future expansion.
While Union Pacific has refused the offer for now, legislator both in California and Nevada will continue discussions with Union PAcific.
