Appendix B Union Pacific Railroad Recommendations Coast Daylight Service Add Daily LA- San Francisco Train Pair (Replaces pair of LA-San Luis Obispo Surfliners) January 2011 1 Network Planning – January 2011 PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY – DISCUSSION – DISCUSSION DRAFT DRAFT Coast Daylight Service Coast & Santa Barbara Subdivisions Caltrain 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 Metrolink 2 Network Planning – January 2011 PRELIMINARY – DISCUSSION DRAFT Coast Daylight Service Daily Traffic Volumes in Simulation Current Passenger Trains Segment NB SB Total Daily Freight Trains Surfliners: San Luis Obispo - LA 2 2 4 Both Surfliners: Goleta - LA 3 3 6 3rd Quarter 07 Directions Amtrak: Coast Starlight 1 1 2 Auto 1 Capital Corridor: San Jose – Sacramento 7 7 14 Intermodal 1.7 ACE (M – F) San Jose – Stockton 3 3 6 Bulk .4 Caltrain (M - F) San Francisco – San Jose 42 42 84 Manifest 1.8 Caltrain (M - F) San Francisco – Gilroy 3 3 6 Locals 12.4 Metrolink (M - F) Montalvo - LA 27 27 54 Total 17.3 Total 88 88 176 Proposed Change - Alternative Freight Routing scenario includes three additional daily freight Replace pair of daily Surfliners with Coast Daylights trains (each way) representing variability Segment NB SB Total and need to accommodate shift from Tehachapi route for detour or overflow.

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 15 Network Planning – January 2011 PRELIMINARY – DISCUSSION DRAFT .
