I saw my first "practice" trains headed into SFO a couple of days ago on the way into work.

A beautiful sight!

The original (misguided, IMHO) plan was to build a station about a mile from the airport, with connecting vehicles, similar to what they have at BOS.

Then a local politico, Quentin Kopp, made a big stink and put up a ballot proposition in which SF voters explicitly stated their desire that the train should run into the airport.

Thanks, Mr. Kopp...
