There's not much to report on the rail front given the severity of the pandemic. So, I'll leave it to the experts to break most of this stuff down.
The only thing I'll say is that it's a really good thing that Bay Area voters stepped up to save Caltrain.
On the high speed rail front, ex-congressman David Valadao, an opponent of CAHSR, won back the seat he lost in 2018. This shouldn't have an impact on the project anytime soon but be on the lookout after the '22 midterms provided that traditional trends take place and the House flips, Valadao and likely House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could really raise trouble for high speed rail in the Golden State.
I'll discuss the election's impact on Amtrak in the following post.
