Chatsworth siding should be in service early next week.

You forgot to add the Montalvo branch which is where Metro parks their trains at night. They will be dispatching the Branch and Wye only all the way to Santa Paula using TWC. Channel being used will be 2929. As of right now, Metro doesn't have their radio's set up which leaves the branch the way it has been in the new general order. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Is the Metrolink TT available online? Does Amtrak distribute it in soft copy form (such as a PDF file)? Please advise if there is a way to obtain a copy. Thanks!

Sorry to say, the TT is not on line, is in VERY limited supply.

Sale of TT, could almost be a profit center
for the railroads.

besides the new siding for Newhall anybody know it Metrolink has plans to add new sidings anywhere else? Keep hearing Metrolink is also looking at installing a 9000 ft siding at or near Humphreys and maybe taking Lang out of service. TIA

for the next 12 months or so, the major work on sidings and more double track will be on the San Gabriel Sub, between Los Angeles and Fontana.

This will include some rail change out.

Following that some plans see improvements to the Valley lines. You may see some rail change out sooner however.

Rail change out now on the Olive sub.

It all depends upon funding that becomes available. Remember funding comes from a small portion of the sales tax, so anytime you purchase an item by e-mail or phone that does not collect California tax, is not helping the transit cause at all. Course it can help your pocket book
