Re: (rshsdepot) Larkspur rail bridge



Yeah but then they will spend far more than might have been needed to rehab this ROW, and they will build something above the freeway north

Although I now live in Maine, I previously lived for many years in Marin
County, CA, near the bridge you mention.  Over the years there has been much
talk about reactiving commuter rail between southern Marin (Sausalito) and
Sonoma County (Santa Rose and that vicinity).  Commuters could ride down to
Sausalito and then take the ferry into the City.  Many rail beds have been
converted to bike and footpaths, but there remains enough track, or at least
state owned land connecting tracks, to complete this sort of project.  I
suspect that as the commuter traffic continues to get heavier and heavier,
and the Golden Gate Bridge toll increases, there will again be more talk
about the commuter rail system.
