Yep. They plan to bury caltrain and build a six-story
building to bring it back to its key system glory. It's currently at
around 1/3 the capacity it had in the 40s.
The key to the project is to secure funds from the big
LA-to-SF bullet train project. That seems to be driving everyone's
expansion these days. SF has wanted a rail nexus like this since the
gold spike was driven at Promontory Point, Utah.
