It's no Acela Express though.

'tis sad but true >.>

Though, I'd be outright frightened if the Capitol traveled by the water at Acela speeds o.o ('tis very curvy, within a foot or so from the bay)

hehe I love seeing all the Amtrak trains passing my friend's house. Especially the Acela and the Northeast Regional. Don't really hear them until they're close to you. That's the scary part.

Have you tried Metro Link yet. I've only done it a couple of times and I liked the experience. I haven't ridden a train in years.
I just happen to like the independence of driving my own car to far places. It also serves as a locker if I got too much stuff to carry around.

I've taken it once in a while when I go to LA, though most of the time I rely on LA Metro to get around (yay for relatives living next to the Red Line!). I haven't really driven much (have yet to get a license, and I lack a car), but I do see the convenience of driving. I've just been raised on using public transit that I can easily use both X3

I think I also used Metro to go to LA. I went to the LA Fair. I did a lot of time on public transit, both as a kid ans a young adult. I even got to get around on the San Diego Trolley for a couple of years when I lived down there. I actually didn't get a car or a license til I was 20. There's no rush til you need one. Once I got my first car, I now will only use buses if I have to drop of a car at the mechanic and to pick it up when it's done. I don't have anyone that can drive me places. If I did, I think that would be the last of my transit experiences. I still like the option of trains and buses but I'll always choose to drive if I can.

When will they split California into 6 (six) states ?
Probably when the cent and perhaps the nickel are abolished and no longer minted !

(news article that I couldn't open on my faling laptop !)

Will do ^.^

that was me on my way to furcon and back last january. (except of course, i'm a green cat instead of your fox, but what i mean by that was playing with my computer and getting on the net while i was riding down there, and i think even saying something about it on here on my way back) yah, the california cars were built by a different company (morrison knutson i think) then the amtrak ones (bn, i think (one of the alsthome companies) if not pullman-standard (if they still in some sense exist, possibly in the form of having been aquired by, i forget the common name bn goes by) but even less sure). the capitol corrider is basically invisioned as a commuter service. pretty darn nice for a commuter service though, and a relatively long distance one at that. from roseville to san jose is well over a hundred miles. closer to 200. i love riding it when i get the chance. which is usually only the once a year, if that, when i go to furcon in san jose. (and one of the five trains a day, goes all the way up to auburn (another 30 miles even further northest then i am) to tie up at night and leaves from there in the morning)

Ah, you can't beat a nice bit of train travel. =:) Especially when there are power points available. =:)

Power Points? Slide shows a la carte? =P

Cool! I would to take a long train ride some day,other than local rail!

The long-distance trains are fun! Costly, but fun ^.^ You should seriously go on one sometime, even once; 'tis worth it.

Another very awesome draw inside a train! Something funny... I always aim to make draws with me driving some train. I never thought much about on putting me inside the passenger cars or such. Hopefully you'll do more of these kind of draws. I'm here to see.

Thanks!

I do plan on doing more of these in the future. ^^

Great to know! Keep those comming then.

Will do! ^.^

I thought that was one of the CalTrains.

Been there, done that.

Sweet!
