Fortunately, much of the Metrolink system is owned and dispatched by 
SCRRA.  And, as you say, it has been the policy of the California 
government, as expressed in the California Rail Plan, to provide money to 
upgrade the private railroads to improve freight capacity as beneficial to 
the California economy.  In return, the freight railroads provide access 
for publically supported passenger services.  This has been a mutually 
beneficial arrangement, but as you pointed out, money is tight and so this 
process will probably slow somewhat.
