It&#039;s been a tough week on the boards for ya, tedtard. Take a day off tomorrow and go to the zoo, champ. Wind down and chill out. Saturday&#039;s are always fun for your type. They bring extra animals to the petting zoo. But behave yourself. Animals have feelings too! :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Prop 1A (2008) was titled &quot;The Safe. Reliable...&quot; HSR.  Blended Rail (HSR on Caltrain tracks as proposed) would be NEITHER SAFE NOR RELIABLE.  

Caltrain, with commuter station platforms and dozens of road crossings, runs at a top speed of 79 mph.  CHSRA would raise that to 125 mph.  (We fence 65 mph freeways against intrusion and cross-traffic, and rubber-tired vehicles stop much faster than trains.)  HSR trains at that speed would be highly vulnerable to accidental, or even deliberate, mishap.  

Amtrak, on 79 mph track in 1999, hit a rebar-laden truck at a grade crossing in Bourbonnais, Illinois, derailing two locomotives and 11 of 14 cars.  11 passengers died and 128 people were injured.  More recently ACE hit an empty gravel truck at a private grade crossing near Livermore.  Things happen. HSR needs a secure, fenced, and grade-separated track.  Fortunately the gravel truck was empty and the one at Bourbonnais was not loaded with gasoline. 

Initially HSR to the Bay Area should run only to San Jose, with good connections there to Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, VTA Light Rail, and the planned SV-BART.  A better alternative north is along the UP/Amtrak Mulford line to Oakland and on to Sacramento.  From a new transfer station at the BART overhead in Oakland, four downtown San Francisco stations are six to ten minutes away, with 16 trains per hour.

Safety should trump the fabled &quot;one-seat ride&quot;.  Don&#039;t squander precious HSR funds electrifying and extending Caltrain tracks that HSR cannot safely use.]]></description>

If Vegas had a wager line on whether the crazy train would materialize (or not) I would quadruple down. NEVER vote against the ruling class. It would be like betting against the morning sun rising in the east. Make sure you&#039;re stocked up on napkins.]]></description>
