San Joaquin

@Mjdestroyerofworlds: While the cited source implies that the San Joaquin will stop at additional Sacramento stations, I find that highly unlikely - I think it's a mistake on the part of the reporter. The San Joaquin is an intercity service; it's doubtful that it will make four commuter-based stops in one city, especially one (Natoma) that would require a reverse move from the existing Sacramento station.

@Pi.1415926535:You can find it anything you want, but that's what's happening. via ACE's press release: [1] "The grant funds will help perform track improvements on the existing Union Pacific Railroad Sacramento subdivision freight corridor that runs just east of Interstate 5 to make it usable for passenger service, and build new shared San Joaquins and ACE stations in Lodi, Elk Grove, Sacramento City College, Sacramento Midtown, Old North Sacramento, and Natomas which will include a shuttle connection to the Sacramento International Airport."

Well, you're certainly right, but that is unbelievably bizarre. Taking away the downtown Lodi station, adding a bunch of local stops to an intercity train, and removing service from the Sacramento Valley Station that they just renovated? Somehow I suspect we'll see a lot of changes to that plan. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
