High Speed Rail Authority!!!

[GM0406]

I have been invited to attend a special meeting on high speed rail between San Francisco and San Jose.  I think I will bring this picture and tell them that I will agree to this if they let me on the rails from time to time.  Bill T.

I will also take this picture with me to see if they have looked at all means of applying energy?

That reminds me, I gotta buy tickets soon if I want to take my next trip on the "Capitol Limited". Talk about a scenic trip. You don't feel like you are on a highway. Rather, you are simply weaving your way through the woods. Which leads me to something else. your idea just led me to check Amtrak/Auto-train.

"Oversized Vehicle

Check-In
At least 2 hours before scheduled departure.  65-88 inches in height and 182 inches or greater in length.

- Maximum width: 84 inches.
- Ground clearance: at least 4 inches "

My car is 16 feet long. It wouldn't fit either, let alone a bus/RV.

Since we are the subject of trains here is some pictures of my MC-7 parked along a lake, along the tracks. I'm a engineer for this railroad. I stopped the train at the bus for a coffee break. This is between Vernon and Kelowna British Columbia.
Hope to get out of here and head for Arizona with bus shortly.
