Isn’t it remarkable how people who know literally nothing about a given subject can make such a definitive and absolute statement is this: “we have neither the demographics nor the resources to support passenger rail.” The writer could be excused for being uninformed about available resources, that is understandable; but there is no excuse for being so ignorant about the demographics of passenger rail. All you need to do is take a look at a road map of Santa Cruz County, one that includes the UP rail line.
