The American Association of Railroads doesn't want you to know about this history.
I think I might make some art for @calelectricrail.org, something along the lines of counter-NIMBY thinking that insists that #cantenary wasn't prominent, wasn't efficient. I want people to know that it was in Oakland, it was everywhere in CA. It existed before you were born, and it was better.
