Catenary is the superior technology for the Surfliner. Time to electrify the Coaster and #LeaveRoomForCatenary in the Del Mar tunnel!
LoL: "While electrification using catenary system is not under consideration for this study, the feasibility study considered the operational impact of ZEMU technology using a Stadler KISS EMU in runtime simulations because the H2-powered FLIRT MU to be used by SBCTA are limited to 79 mph."

And with wires planned between LA and Anaheim, we should do the rest of the Surfliner, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Electrifying Anaheim-San Diego will accelerate high speed rail into San Diego, currently not planned for decades - but we need wires in the tunnels! #LeaveRoomForCatenary

The Del Mar Tunnel CEQA comment process is now open, but NIMBYs want to shut down the US's #2 rail corridor instead of saving it from falling into the sea. Tell SANDAG by June 30th to support the fast Crest Canyon alignment and #LeaveRoomForCatenary! @ridesd.org docs.google.com/document/d/1...

One cause for concern: on the map from the State Rail Plan, the Surfliner/Coaster south of Anaheim is NOT shown as electrified, despite CalSTA's involvement. Let's make sure we change that - LOSSAN tunnels must #LeaveRoomForCatenary!

No need for every agency to reinvent the wheel. Objective design standards like these are one reason why Italy has much lower costs than California - that's why it's on our list of project delivery reforms. #LeaveRoomForCatenary #JustTransitionForCaltrans calelectricrail.org/transit-capi...

SANDAG is meeting to discuss Del Mar Tunnel alignments this Friday. SANDAG needs to #LeaveRoomForCatenary in the tunnels - big investments like this should
come with the big increases in speed and frequency only electrification provides.

America's second-busiest passenger rail line runs on a single track along crumbling Del Mar bluffs.
When these cliffs erode and trains slow down, it cuts off San Diego's only rail connection to the rest of the nation.
This affects everyone from commuters to cargo. 🧵1/4
