California Amtrak Improvements?

	At last report, the "Amtrak California" locomotives and passenger 
cars have started arriving. But I still have some questions about 
improvements in CA Amtrak service. Work on the San Diegans has been 
covered admirably; I get the impression that when the current trackwork 
there is finished, its route will be double-tracked all the way to San 
Clemente or so. My questions are about northern California Amtrak.

	Will the Capitols and San Joaquins be getting the new rolling 
stock anytime soon?

	Will there be a rail shuttle between Stockton and Sacramento? 
Currently, there is an Ambus running to connect the San Joaquin at 
Stockton to Sacramento.

	Has trackwork started to improve the Oakland -- Sacramento line, 
and if not, is it expected to start anytime soon? Improvements include 
welded rail and restoration of the second track on the causeway SW of Sac'to.

	More trains?

	Speedup plans?

	Direct San Joaquin service to LA?

I would love to see direct San Joaquin service to LA.  I would like to 
see Amtrak service in the Techachapi loop.
