Do the BART trains have to deal with grade-level crossings for vehicle traffic? No. CalTrain is a better comparison IMO; they run at about 55mph.
... If they can cut the time down to a little over 2hrs I might be game but I doubt it... or by the time they are done, I'll have my own light plane and i'll fly myself to the little airport next to danville.
A trip average of 180mph is doable if you've got a dedicated rail network
separated from all grade-level crossings. It's all a matter of money.

... also 5-6hrs from SF to LA? you must drive slow :chuckles:
And who said we were talking about my drive time?

I'm talking average drivers... 80mph± with a long stop for gas and grub.
