The BS schedule for the operation of the transpeninsular train would leave a space for its maintenance, as reportedfrom La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS). 

"According to data shared by the representative of Baja California Sur, Alfredo Porras Domínguez, if the transpeninsular train was built, which would connect from Tijuana to Los Cabos, there would be routes with departures every 30 minutes; as well as 11 stations between the 2 entities."

What a crapload of Mierda! 

"Likewise, it transpired that its operating hours would be from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., which would allow having a space to maintain the train tracks, which it is presumed could be high-speed, as reported by San Diego."

"The trains would be transporting approximately 25,000 passengers a day, which would offer panoramic views and the gastronomy of the municipalities it will cross. In Baja California Sur, according to the map that had been disseminated by federal deputy Miguel Torruco, there would be 7 populations contemplated: San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos, La Paz, Ciudad Constitución, Santa Rosalía and Guerrero Negro. It should be noted that, on his occasion, Alfredo Porras commented that the construction of the railway would cover more than 1,700 kilometers and would cost 140,000 million pesos, which requires private investment."

Millions of gallons of raw sewage from Mexico are gushing into San Diego through two canyons along the border, according to federal officials. The spill is coming from at least two pump stations that were forced to shut down after a construction crew last week inadvertently ruptured a major pipeline south of Tijuana.  Shorelines as far north as the Silver Strand were closed due to sewage contamination as of Wednesday, with the rest of the region’s coastline under the standard 72-hour rain advisory. South Bay beaches have been repeatedly shuttered(closed) as the result of winter storms that washed polluted flows through the Tijuana River watershed.  “I’ve said it 1,000 times, but I’ll keep saying it until it’s fixed: It’s an environmental injustice,” said Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, who has made cleaning up pollution from Tijuana her top priority.  The recent spill, which started last Friday, is concentrated in Goat Canyon and Smugglers Gulch, where concrete capture basins are helping to redirect some of the flow to the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant along the border in San Diego, officials said.  The wastewater facility, which typically treats about 25 million gallons of sewage a day, has been processing an additional roughly 10 million gallons daily from Tijuana to limit the spill’s impacts, officials said.  “We can sustain this, but it is adding wear and tear on our plant,” said Morgan Rogers, area operations manager in San Diego for the U.S. section of the International Boundary and Water Commission.  Federal officials estimate that it will take at least another week to repair the broken pipe, which carries effluent to a crumbling wastewater treatment plant located about 6 miles south of the border at a place called Punta Bandera[Punta Poopoo]. 

However, just repairing the pipe won’t completely address pollution linked to the aging facility. The San Antonio de los Buenos treatment plant near Tijuana discharges about 35 million gallons a day of raw sewage into the Pacific Ocean, according to estimates from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  That discharge frequently floats up the coast, shuttering(closing) beaches even during summer months. The governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila, has pledged to fix or replace the plant by 2025.  Meanwhile, EPA has a wide-ranging $630 million plan to address the sewage pollution pouring over the border from Tijuana. The blueprint, which has about $300 million in funding, prioritizes an expansion of the International Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Diego. Officials have said projects could break ground in the next three years.  The agency has cautioned that no amount of spending will completely stop the flood of urban runoff triggered by heavy rains. In fact, these flows, as polluted as they are, help maintain the estuary in Imperial Beach. The wetlands would degrade over time without the infusion of freshwater.  Reports of Tijuana sewage leaking over the border into the San Diego region stretch back at least to the 1930s. While significant improvements were made in the 1990s, the city’s plumbing still isn’t keeping pace with population growth."
