It's funny to read this article painting electric trains as a great novelty, when the majority of trains in western Europe (excluding certain island states) have been electric for decades. But good for california, sounds like a nice improvement!
I just loved seeing electric rail referred to in a positive manner, and to see the benefits (speed! quiet! comfort! land use!) highlighted.
