Introducing: The Southwest Pacific with THRILLING STORYLINE!

Back to the route at hand:

I've read information that by the year 2025 they want high-speed rail service in southern California so maybe I might add the NEC-style line out of my exhisting Surfliner (They say the Surfliner will become high speed NEC-style line.) and CSX and CN out of UP Eureka Yard (At USTrainz.com) but some changes to show between 2007 and 2025 due to UP doesn't own the yard anymore. This route is played-out prototypically. Even though it's about 17 years in the future; It will be realistic and not fictional where there is flying cars or highways thru buildings . It will not be like that. It will be like today, but with newer car models (Run on four wheels ), all crossings are quads like the US is installing on crossings now in 2007, and automatic switches are solar powered like BNSF has in Bakersefield. -Chris

Relax there Chris Racer.....nobody is fighting, just stating facts. I think your route idea is plausible anyway, certainly more so than a similar scenario in the Midwest.

hmmmm well how bout add a maglev in LA or something not like thats gonna happen the way passenger trains are now though in reality everything will probably be the exact same

From a recent San Diego Newspaper article:

"Plans are under way to develop a megaport at Punta Colonet, 150 miles south of San Diego. The port is expected to be the size of the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports combined.

Millions of cargo containers from throughout Asia are expected to be off-loaded at this new port each year, transferred to rail cars and shipped across the U.S.-Mexican border, probably at Yuma, Ariz."

Hmmmm, Kingman.....Yuma....I think your theoretical railroad could be handling more container traffic by volume than the Alameda Corridor.
