A Straighter Extension of Caltrain/HSR Into Downtown SF: Is It Worth It?
By 2029, San Francisco's Transbay Transit Center -- which has been called the "Grand Central of the West" -- will allow people to hop on an electrified Caltrain to San Jose and high-speed rail down to Southern California from the same platform. That's the vision, at least, of planners working on the extension of Caltrain from the current terminus at 4th and King Streets to the massive transit hub under construction in SF's downtown core.

The Troubling Discord Between Transbay and High Speed Rail Authorities
Let's hope California rail passengers can look back on the drama
playing out between the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) and the
California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) as a small hiccup on the
way to building the nation's preeminent rail network into one of the
most impressive rail stations in the world. And for our sake, let's
hope Washington isn't paying too much attention to the infighting and
will still award California the lion's share of the $8 billion in
federal stimulus money slated for high speed rail.
