This corridor is the San Francisco to San Jose corridor to accommodate the slower on grade Caltrain passenger moving and the grade-free HSR trains. This corridor is a high capacity and efficient people-moving proposal for this densely populated area. However, Diridon Station will have a significant problem with accommodating the HSR trains, plus they need to go on toward Gilroy. There is insufficient track capacity at this station to host the many commuters and the HSR trains. The better solution is to run the HSR trains to Redwood City and then to Fremont and on to the Lathrop wye. This HSR corridor will make significantly more economic sense since this route will also serve the central valley cities; there is no backtracking needed with this plan to provide service to Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, and from the south.
