Talk:Alameda Corridor

Corridor impact good or bad?
The Corridor improvements do add capacity for moving rail cars, but I have read that the 710 freeway is worse, not better, because shippers are using trucks to avoid high corridor fees. True or false? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.175.225.22 (talk • contribs).
 * Unkown, but apparently false. However, the Alameda Corridor Authority is attempting to capture the short-haul truck traffic otherwise being sent up the 710 freeway, and which for whatever reason is skipping the corridor. ACA Current Projects.
 * Does anyone know more about this? The Interstate 110 (California) article claims that "[t]he Harbor Freeway, along with the Long Beach Freeway, are the principal means for freight to get from the port of Los Angeles to rail yards and warehouses further inland." The article ignores the Alameda Corridor completely, but before I edited that, I wanted to check if the volume of traffic really is substantially more on the 110 and the 710 than in the corridor. So far, Google has failed me on finding data on this matter, but I did read somewhere that cargo trucked between the harbor and the railyards are charged the same fees per container as if they were going through the corridor (I'm not sure how this would be enforced--perhaps a LA city or county ordinance that obligates the ports to charge the same fees). Any info, anyone? cluth 04:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The ACA website probably has their version of the facts. Keep in mind that the Alameda Corridor is only good for those goods that are destined for rail transport outside of the LA Basin. There is also quite a bit of port traffic that has local destinations, which will NEVER use the Alameda Corridor. I think I read a statistics that the corridor was only capturing 1/2 of the port cargo that was destined for outside the LA Basin. BlankVerse 12:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The ACA website says "A train emits significantly less pollutants than the 250-280 trucks it replaces." and that there are currently about 43 trains per day. That's 10750-12040 trucks off the road! Wow! ƕ (talk) 19:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Photo of the Corridor
I have a photo of the Alameda Corridor that I'm willing to share for this article. It's a bit of a challenge to photograph the corridor; hopefully at some point someone will find or take a better photograpg. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasbrightbill/3995028610 ThomasBrightbill (talk) 06:30, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
