Convention centers, corporate buildings, museums
and parks flank the route in the southern downtown area
as it
travels briefly and generally northeast-southwest along San
Carlos Ave. Trains bound for Santa Teresa execute a ninety
degree turn just out of view to the left.
Service for Winchester began
running straight to and from the left
along San Carlos in the summer of 2005 with the opening of
Phase I of the Vasona Light Rail Project. Eight stops
carry the line more than five miles out, mostly along an old Union
Pacific right of way. Phase II, if and when funded, will
continue the route another two stations further. |
