Actually, I walked back from the coffeehouse last night along Carson and 
we got another shot at why rail other than for tourism on Carson is a bad 
idea. Total gridlock. Something along the P&LE might be useful, it's never 
far from Carson, but, at the end of the day, when you want to get home, 
the 51B takes a little longer than you might like, and locking in a rail 
line on that corridor doesn't fix it.
