[pct-l] San Felipe Hills Power Line Update

[Donna Saufley]

Ken,

>From the map provided, the high speed rail line appears to be on the
existing rail road track in Soledad Canyon, which sees a fair amount of rail
traffic daily (MetroLink and freight trains).  

This is the first I've heard of this project, and don't have sufficient info
to study the issues associated with this.  On the surface the proposed rail
line appears to provide much needed contiguous rail transportation to points
north.

This is only a powerline. If you want a real cause check out this map:

The state of California is planning to build a high-speed rail line between 
LA and SF/Sacramento. This map shows it crossing the PCT before Palmdale. Of

course it crosses back over the PCT before the Tehachapis.

I prefer the power line to a high speed train.

A recent article in San Diego's North County Times covers the release of the
environmental report regarding the purposed power line. The gist is: build
it along I8 and keep it out of the 'pristine' Anza-Borrego State Park.

For PCT enthusiasts, this is clearly good news!

Here's the article:
