Gilroy Preliminary Findings: . Currently proposed schedule is unrealistic and unattainable  1.5 hours faster S/B and 0.8 hours faster N/B than Coast Starlight with 15 more stops . Coast Route remains a strategic line for freight operations  Needs to be able to handle growing local volumes and be available for detour / overflow traffic from Tehachapi route

Preliminary Requirements: . Raise to minimum passenger standard track structure: Full CTC, welded rail, robust rail and tie condition (6-inch base, low defect), crossing protection, PTC . Construct one new siding (Ortega) and extend five sidings . Power all sidings 5000 feet or longer . Major constraints need to be addressed due to commuter operations at San Jose and between Montalvo and LAUPT . Additional infrastructure to facilitate local operations not yet identified

13 Network Planning – January 2011 PRELIMINARY – DISCUSSION DRAFT Coast Daylight Service Issues

• Schedule extremely close to unopposed, ideal run times; no recovery allowance – Unopposed TPC run time within one to four minutes of proposed schedule • Multiple proposed station stops consume track network capacity and give service a “Milk Run” local feel • Must address any costs not covered by Amtrak Reimbursement Agreement

14 Network Planning – January 2011 PRELIMINARY – DISCUSSION DRAFT Coast Daylight Service Recommendations

• Rationalize Coast Daylight schedule (number of stops, adequate run time) • Complete 229 mi. CTC, install power switches • Add new siding at Ortega • Extend King City, Bradley, Narlon, Concepcion and Seacliff sidings • Upgrade rail & ties -- rail: all CWR, low defect, 6-inch base • Address PTC requirements and crossing protection needs (greater frequency, passenger speeds) • Address remaining bottlenecks at San Jose and south of Santa Barbara and ensure availability of adequate freight slots
