If you’re in the area and want to help advocate for electrifying the SB Line, the group Californians for Electric Rail have been working on advocacy for that recently.
The slow speeds of the trains entering the station (probably because of switches?) shows again that alot could be done to speed up travel times without the need to build completely new lines.
Nice video, great angles! Was wondering if you had done a video about the Capitol Corridor given it’s one of the busiest corridors outside the Northeast. Would be cool to see different combinations of costs of different buildouts, like a full HSR with a transbay tunnel to San Francisco, a fully upgraded line to maybe a 155 mph standard, and maybe a partially upgraded line given that the section between Martinez and Sacramento is basically completely straight farmland (maybe this could involve dual-mode trains), and maybe even a no-build/minimal change section to see what the new rolling stock is capable of. Keep it up!
I've had a request for it. It's on the list. I'll probably do it as a City Pair video, so a little more in-depth on the route, since its not very long.

They haven't gotten the hydrogen fuel cell one yet, to my knowledge. The one in the video was definitely not it, though. That's diesel-electric. Pretty interesting setup. They have two diesel engines on either side of the "power pack" in the middle, and you can actually walk through there between the passenger units.

I really love the overlap between railfans, rail advocates, and urbanists. its awesome that so many are all 3!
It’s a perfect venn diagram
United by a hatred of asphalt and rubber tires.
We start here for Metrolink rides. Great museum open on weekends. Thanks

I enjoy your videos. You deserve a million followers.
I concur!
make it a race between your channel to reach 1mil subscribers vs CAHSR bakersfield to merrced section opening.
@@migjing23OCMCHS My money is on CAHSR 😅 Make it 100k, and you might have a contest there.

Those Metrolinks are nice
Update on Brightline West!!!! Siemens Mobility has been chosen as the train manufacturer.
Always nice to see trains, and an interesting variety of them too. And glad Brightline West is going with Siemens.

Isn't this North America's only hydrogen-powered train?

0:53 thats the train that runs on a glass of water.
Nice :D

AI getting pretty good, but you still caught it.
