[edit] Page Design

I think a long term goal is to make this page more caltrain-like. (similar in details and structure.) MrHudson

I am going to work on some of the page content this weekend, and move around a couple sections, too. I will put up an uncopyrighted system schematic when I have time. The Coaster page will more closely resemble the Caltrain page then. -DavDaven 18:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page Content

Is the security section really necessary? It seems overly vague. -DavDaven 18:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I dropped the security section. -DavDaven 05:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reporting Marks

I believe the Reporting marks are SDNX, not SDNR, as this is not a Class I Railroad. Anyone agree? -Unregistered User —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.207.122.119 (talk) 01:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC-7)

Nope it's SDNR... NCTD who runs the COASTER also owns the San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) who purchased the tracks used by Coaster from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1994. NCTD created the subsidiary San Diego Northern Railway Corporation in 1994 and dissolved it in 2002. NCTD still owns the SDNR reporting marks and uses it for its rail equipment.
