What a terrible mistake this is.
am new to this discussion of the rail line...could you explain why you think this is a mistake...i can't figure who might benefit from this hi-speed line...do you know what the daily ridership would be...is their a regular commuter line there now...trying to find the details thru newsspaper archives is rough!

thanx for any background resource info you can provide.
