California to spend $5.5 billion building a high speed train that goes nowhere

[Nina~ 431]

There is a train station build in Cloverdale, CA, in anticipation of a commuter railway in the North Bay. Nice station. They even have a roundhouse. But, it has been unused for I am guessing 2 decades. Now, they are going to run rail car buses up and down the rails, or so they say. They have spend the last year improving all the crossings, but so far, it hasn't taken a single commuter anywhere. But they did design a hippie rail car that holds more bicycles than passengers, with a healthy food and drink bar.

I know so.

I lived in Cloverdale when I was in 3rd grade. It is a tiny 2-bit town and the people who lived there worked closeby, so I really have no idea why they built a train station there. On the other hand, I knew plenty of people in Livermore who commute to the bay area and yet residents of Livermore were resistant to letting BART built a station there

I lived in the bay area in the 3rd grade but don't remember a damn thing! Your memory is impressive.
