The wonderful city of Long Beach. The 7th largest city in California yet isolated from Amtrak or Metrolink. So how about a leg on California High Speed Rail to that city. The new stations will be Salinas, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, LAX Airport, then Long Beach. Salinas-Oxnard are Amtrak stations. Thousand Oaks is Located alongside the Ventura Highway and is Ajacent to the City Hall. LAX Airport is underground and under the main concourses. Long Beach, the terminus will be the Transbeach Terminal that will use up Golden Park but there will be a park capping it. It is like the future Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, 400 miles away because it also serves buses like Greyhound but no other trains go there. Transbay has Caltrain. So a Long Beach Branch would be nice. High Speed trains will go to the Bay Area and Sacramento.
