re: BLOG: Freight Master Plan: It's About Time!
They can't move freight on the MAX? Streetcar? Bike lanes?

This *might* seem like a dumb idea to some, but in Salt Lake City the lightrail system shares its tracks with freight. If you miss the last train of the night and you're hanging out at the station trying to figure out what to do, you might be lucky enough to see a Utah Railway freight train rumble through the station! They deliver on spur tracks along UTA's mainline 5 days a week during the early morning hours after lightrail service is over.
