This is good info that Bob Heavenrich has passed on to us; As a matter of interest, Our Sacramento Light Rail system has been given the highball to start construction of a branch line from downtown Sacramento parallel to I-5 to the Sacramento International Airport, about a distance of 12 miles. The word was given some time last week. Where at the airport the end of line to be is not known. It will be a lot cheaper for the flying public. When construction is to start is still being planned. So those of you on the CUNY AIRLINES list, We will look for you in the future few years in Sacramento ! A Happy New Year to all !
