Double-tracked = doubly jacked in North County
No, it shouldn't be double-tracked all the way, Mr. Captain of Industry. First reason: having a hundred trains going through the State's most protected reserve, Torrey Pines, is just a bad idea. IT'S PROTECTED. Second, the Coaster is a heavy rail commuter train that only runs from Oceanside to downtown San Diego. To go further south you then have to transfer to the trolley, which is preposterous. The commuter trolley needs to be developed further north and along I-5 such that you can have trains every 5 minutes, not every half hour maybe 10 times a day, like the cumbersome Coaster. And put a heavy rail line there, too. Third, 100 trains along the cliff in Del Mar? What are you thinking? They're sandstone, not granite and they're going the way of all those cliffs. Remember sea level rise? Oh, I forgot. Captains of Industry don't believe that.— October 29, 2015 3:24 p.m.
