Technology: Steel rail feels so very 19th century – Santa Cruz Sentinel
No Way says we must keep the tracks in place so when the funding finally arrives we can put in a train. Isn’t it likely that once the funding arrives technology will have made train tracks superfluous? How probable is it that we could choose automated wheeled trams or personal vehicles on our existing greenway or even an elevated transit vehicle over the greenway or Highway 1. What is so special about a steel rail?
Seems very 19th century to me.
