This blog focuses on rail lines in LA country that exist, are under construction or under consideration. The Californian high-speed rail project and southern CA to Vegas project will also be covered. Since most of the relevant developments in the news, rail websites and blogosphere take place on weekdays, this blog will be updated primarily Monday through Friday and occasionally on the weekends. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are encouraged. Miscellaneous stuff will also appear here.

Courtesy of Metroman on the comment board of The Transit Coalition: Photos of the Mariachi Station of the Gold Line extension, opening possibly in ~~July, August, September~~, October or November. Looks like a sharp station. The Mariachi Station at 1st and Boyle in Boyle Heights is one of two underground stations on the Eastside extension of the light-rail (the Soto station is the other). When the line opens, one will be able to travel without transfers from East LA all the way to Pasadena and vice versa—authentic guacamole and H&M in one seamless ride.
