Metrolink's Future: Why Electrification Could Change Everything

In today's video, we explore the potential benefits and challenges of electrifying Metrolink in Southern California. While Caltrain has successfully electrified its system in the Bay Area, Metrolink still relies on diesel locomotives. We break down the reasons why electrification could improve commute times, reduce emissions, and modernize Metrolink's aging infrastructure. However, we also examine the hurdles, including funding, track capacity, and coordination with various track owners. Enjoy the video!
