... in the most recent CA-HSR blog comment thread, about the mess that is the Trans-Bay Terminal, and now its featured in a post, The Five Year Curve.

Though be aware that it contains such harsh language as:

One of the best train bloggers out there is DoDo, and over at the European Tribune he offers one of his best pieces yet...

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Thanks for posting about this - I planned to make a note myself, but some other things came up between the time I hit "post" and the time I got back here to look at this site.

I love the AVE - love it, it was my first HSR experience, and as someone who loves Spain (and who will be going to Portugal later this spring) I love seeing updates about its progress.

My post on the CAHSR blog is little more than a Cliffs Notes version of DoDo's post and I encouraged people to come here for more info. I hope my post generates some discussion about the California-specific aspects of the general issues DoDo mentioned. I am certain that we will be returning to these ideas frequently on my blog and I am thankful to DoDo for putting this all together.

And the world will live as one

OMG company is coming. Do we have to clean up our language? Am I wearing enough deodorant? Does this keyboard make me look fat? :)

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

I don't know how posh the company is going to look ... maybe a bit bruised and bloody with some rips and tears in their clothing from the fights over the grade separations in the Peninsula and the absolutely appalling design of the tunnel tracks to reach the Transbay Terminal train-box.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
