Well, the Bay Area is using CAHSR money to upgrade Caltrain already. That project should be done in a year or two.

What Rendon wanted to do in Socal with Metrolink was to use the money to not do any electrification and use battery-electric trains, which would have been useless.

I agree that battery trains would be useless.
