It winds through the rolling mountains of the Coast Range, and follows the very edge of the Pacific Ocean for more than a hundred miles. It passes through many charming California cities Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Salinas, San Jose and close to most of the California missions, one of which, Mission San Miguel, can be seen from the train.

    Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington: Past, Present, and Future As more and more states are incorporating projections of sea-level rise into coastal planning efforts, the states of California, Oregon, and Washington asked the National Research Council to project sea-level rise along their coasts for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, taking into account the many factors that affect sea-level rise on a local scale. The projections show a sharp distinction at Cape Mendocino in northern California.

  • A Look at Amtrak's Available Connections
    A Look at Amtrak’s Available Connections By David Peter Alan Here is a look at which Amtrak trains have connections to which other trains, and on which days. I will only examine available connections from one long-distance (L-D) train to another. Most of those changes take place at Chicago, but there are other places where riders can transfer between specific pairs of trains. I will not discuss transfers between an L-D train and a train on a corridor, whether the Northeast Corridor (NEC) and its branches, or a state-supported corridor elsewhere in the country. Amtrak and the states have slashed corridor services in the wake of the COVID-19 virus, too, but every corridor still hosts at least one train every day. Chicago is Amtrak’s main transfer hub, so it is a good place for us to start looking at connections. All trains from the East to Chicago: the Lake Shore Limited, Capitol Limited, and Cardinal, leave on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. That means they arrive in Chicago on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. If their trains arrive in Chicago on or close to schedule, passengers connecting to the Empire Builder to Portland or Seattle, or the Southwest Chief to Los Angeles, have same-day connections on all three potential travel days. Southbound riders on the City of New Orleans have a connection on each of their allotted travel days, too. The California Zephyr to Denver and the Bay Area leaves Chicago on Monday and Saturday, so riders leaving the East on Friday or Sunday have a connection to it, but there is no connection to it from the Wednesday departures from the East.

    AMTRAK CASCADES AND COAST STARLIGHT ROUTES: IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW METRICS AND STANDARDS IS KEY TO IMPROVING ON-TIME PERFORMANCE Federal Railroad Administration Report Number: CR-2010-117 Date Issued: September 23, 2010 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on the Causes of Delays for the Date: September 23, 2010 Coast Starlight and Amtrak Cascades Routes Federal Railroad Administration Report Number: CR-2010-117 From: Mitchell Behm Reply to Attn. of: JA-50 Assistant Inspector General for Rail, Maritime, & Economic Analysis To: Federal Railroad Administrator Over the past 2 years, Congress has enacted legislation and committed billions of dollars to upgrade and expand the nation’s intercity passenger rail service. Early this year, the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $8 billion in stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)1 to 31 states to develop high-speed and intercity passenger train service. For this initiative to be successful, passenger trains need to reach their destinations on time. Poor on-time performance (OTP) discourages ridership, thereby resulting in lower revenues and higher operating costs. In 2008, we reported that poor OTP on Amtrak's intercity passenger routes impacted its bottom line.2 Subsequent to our findings, Congress passed the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA)3, which requires us to report on service delays and needed improvements on Amtrak's Pacific Coast train routes—Coast Starlight and Amtrak Cascades.4 Accordingly, this report (1) describes the routes’ OTP between 2004 and 20095, (2) identifies the factors underlying the routes' OTP, and (3) evaluates the impact of Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) new metrics and standards on OTP.
