> This means the line from SF to Sac/Roseville being placed directly along the 80 corridor with frequent stops for locals as well as dedicated express trains. This requires sidings at all tops in both directions to enable passing, something not currently envisioned for 90% of the stops (iirc).
This would require an additional crossing of the California Coast Ranges (crossing the Diablo Range somewhere between Oakland and Fairfield), and a new tunnel across the bay between SF and Oakland. Both would be $$$$$ megaprojects.
