Congress has pulled this money for the Inglewood APM. Should be built as a longer light rail line. Longer light rail line??? That makes no sense. There is no ROW here so it will be nearly as expensive but will have much lower frequency than a APM. Plus there is no natural way to extend a light rail line here. The C Line will end at the Airport Station, which is a logical terminus for it. |

A draft EIR has been released for this line. Still three options. The Westchester yard will also be expanded. Groundbreaking would be in 2041 with completion by 2049.

Glad to see the tunneling is done.
Communication from Metro has gotten much worse over the last two years. Harder to link to reports, harder to get info generally. Thankfully numble posts pretty regularly on other social media sites. But even then…

At the end of May 2024 the MTA staff made the pick. The old Santa Fe ROW was selected. Most people still would like the route down the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. It could still change because of better projected ridership.

Seems that the entire nine mile tunnel is complete. Opening in three stages. 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Yesterday 03/15/2024 an Orange line bus and motorcycle collided. The man on the cycle was killed and the 12 year old girl on the motorcycle went to the hospital. Are grade crossing with gates in place or just traffic lights to control the vehicles.

The orange county line in San Clemente Ca has reopened to Amtrak for a few trains a day. But no Metrolink yet.

The new station called Vista Canyon in Santa Clarita opened last October 2024. It cost Metrolink $23,000,000 to build and is lightly used.

The Metro board did approve the Dodger Gondola concept last week. Still unknown if it will be built. Hope not. Los Angeles has a lot more important needs for transit money. It is privately funded so it has no effect on Metro’s finances or any other projects. |

The overhead bridge over the former Santa Fe in Santa Fe Springs CA has been completed. This bridge replaces the grade crossing at Marquant and Rosecrans per Cal Trans the most dangerous grade crossing in California. This will help Amtrak, BNSF and Metrolink.

The West Santa Ana Branch new name is now Southeast Gateway Line. But that - unfortunately - doesn't mean it gets built, does it? |

Looks like that METRO has made the decision to go with heavy rail not monorail from the valley to the west side. Saw a post yesterday. where? last i checked they haven't chosen a LPA yet. |

I’ve been starting to really notice when there are hiccups on Metro Rail. Most obvious is coming out of Little Tokyo Station and going to Union Station. When you’re on the overpass, parallel to the 101, a hold signal is issued, then the ATC stops the train. I figured out what is causing it. It’s because the gates haven’t come down at the Union Station access road. Once the gates are down, the train is released, then heads off to Union Station This does not happen southbound on the A line. Another place I think it happens is on eastbound on the E line from Expo/Crenshaw. The train frequently stutters as it’s heading East on what is supposed to be 55 mph track. The gate causing it is the one at 11th Ave/Degnan Blvd. Has anyone else noticed issues like this? Who at Metro can we pointed out to so it gets fixed?

They are repairing the catenary in the regional connector. So they’re running trains on the A & E Line every 20 Minutes if your lucky. My wife had to wait for 40 minutes for an A train at Little Tokyo yesterday. Then Metro put out a thing sayin they were increasing service.
But the service makes no sense. They are adding by having trains turn back at LATTC/Grand & Union Station for the A Line and LATTC/Ortho & Pico/Alisó for the E. Three of those stations have no rail transfer connections. Metro says it’s too hard to bring the trains to 7th and Metro or Little Tokyo where you would have a much better chance to get to your destination. Am I missing something here?

The elevators speak when they arrive at their destination. When arriving at BR ("bridge"), the elevator says "basement rear". LOL
