[edit] New line neccesitated between Bakersfield and Los Angeles
For decades in the interstate era, 1955 to present, maps containing railroad mileage in California indicate no railroad between those two cities.
I have assumed that Interstate 5 consumed that space. This article needs to address the issue of the right-of-way and entirely new track and rail bed of the train between those cities.Dogru144 23:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not neccesarily all that neccesary
If you really look at the maps there's a route that follows the 14 freeway out to Palmdale, which then cuts north to Mojave, west over and through Tehachapi, then down to Bakersfield. It isn't used by Amtrak, but there's a right of way for railroad purposes even if it is currently only being used for cargo.Phil 21:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
