What is the City's position on ranked choice voting in SANDAG?
What do people think about the upcoming Modal Alternative Project document? https://encinitasca.prod.govaccess.org/home/showdocument?id=5725
What will the effect on city tax revenues be if housing prices drop? Will the Encinitas CIP plans need to be reevaluated?
Interesting to note that while Leucadia and Cardiff are haggling over bike lanes, Olivenhain is focused on sewer infrastructure, way down the list at #25 in importance.
Bicycle project #2, a rail trail connecting La Costa to Santa Fe and the current trail is the holy grail of N/S coastal mobility. It'll be $22M well spent.
I had quite a few friends that sold within the last 6 months and got out of the market. 👌
Their timing was exquisite! 💵💵💵💵💵
The city is going to be hurting big-time with all the costs skyrocketing, due to inflation, and the reduction in sales tax, and TOT and the flattening out of the revenues from increasing property taxes. What’s that are gonna look like as far as future projects and long-term operations and maintenance costs?
Scott, sounds similar to another program that goes by the name of Vison Zero that had zero real vision. The 'stuff' our city fall for and tries to sell wtf? $$$$$$$$ Grease those skids by our well paid staff. All on our tax dollars when there are uses that could improve our quality of life that never seems to enter staffs or councils minds, if they had them to begin with.
Since this is not an election year. I traded in the Battle Axe for a velvet hammer. It doesn't have the same cleaving and smashing ability, but is more flexible and precise.
Take a look at Agenda 10E, 2023-02-08 Item 10E Review of City Council Policy C003 & Brown Act.
The way I read it, it looks like one might actually be able to ask questions of the council and get answers. Time donations for agenda items are allowed.
This one is interesting: II. A. 5. The use of personal electronic devices on the dais shall be limited to official agenda-related tasks and emergency notifications.
Women hater? What orifice did you pull that out of? Never mind. I don't want to know. Women were not mentioned in my post. You must have my post confused with another. In your mirror?
I feel bad for you all near the track… when I tried going to eat in the downtown Leucadia the train was so freaking loud. I’ll never go back..
I can’t believe your prior council representative, and now Mayor did nothing the whole time he was on NCTD for 10 YEARS. While other smart cities like San Clemente, San Diego, and Solana Beach took action on the issue and implemented a Quietzones. A few simple improvements a little paperwork and no problem. That is, unless if you’re a dunce. And then everything is a problem.
Tony made it worse and actually increase the noise by 30% 🤣🤣🤣
Oh sorry unless if you live near those F’d up tracks… then 😢
So crazy you elected a Dunce. Seems like you will continue to pay and pay. 😂😂
This freaking train blasts all day and all night long without anybody ever riding it. It never even lets us sleep. Let alone wake up.
Don’t even get me started about the huge waste of money and pollution going on while others are looking just to survive.
Just a few years ago it was only about 10 trains per day Max. Now after Tony’s 19 years leading NCTD, the train trips are well over 60 and a blast are endless with hundreds and hundreds a day.
You know what’s the most common phrase I hear around Leucadia? ….
Sorry- forgot to add increased train service 30% after train ridership tanked over 90% . Train traffic was tanking since 2015 but covid dropped it to 10% ridership and its barely crawling back. Pathetically low.
Do we have any control over the number of trains? It’s going to get worse since 15 years ago a bill was passed that about 70,000 triucks carrying food, and other nessesties we need will be off the road starting Feb 1. So it will have to come by train, unless the trains fall into the ocean, or Cargo ships. Look at higher prices and more food scarcity.
Train is always less expensive per ton-mile. But trucks offer greater flexibility and speed. For instance, the Dole ship that berths in San Diego offloads refrigerated containers of produce. These are perishable and need to get to distribution warehouses for all of the major grocery chains ASAP.
Train schedules and connections are inflexible, and do not go directly to the destination. And a warehouse may not even be on a spur line.
There are reasons to sometimes prefer trucking, but cost usually isn’t one.
Like every other type of freight, you need to add up all of the different lines of transport. Trains in San Diego don’t make sense considering how many transfers you need to make. Two trucks to deliver the product.
Talk to any transport logistics, professional, and they will tell you, San Diego is not a train town. Singletracks through San Clemente shut that down.
Not to mention the $4 billion tunnel through Delmar and the $8 billion tunnel through Sorrento Valley to straighten out the tracks to make it semi-feasible.
Much better alternative is to put a second freight rail along the high speed alignment along I 15.
US govt covid cash of $1B went to Equity and Diversity causes.
Can an Encinitas City Council member please give us a detailed spreadsheet accounting of where exactly this was allocated and more importantly a social ROI for that money?
I would imagine that a government that conducted an unethical medical experiment to watch black men die of untreated syphilis for 40 years would probably have some trust issues with the black community that could adversely affect response to a pandemic.
Spending money to mitigate that problem and focus resources on underserved populations sounds like a good investment to me.
9:31 "they are making up for it now". One of them just killed a doctor in Orange County yesterday while the Doc was riding his bicycle. In fact that 12 percent of the population commits 50 percent of the crime in America. Per the FBI
7:12, as for your crime stat, we should all commit to repairing the economic damage done by Jim Crow, segregation, and red lining. Our government systemically imposed poverty and crime on our brothers with racist intent.
9:55 and 10:02 You people live in a dream world. The upside to living in a dream world is, you don't em'. I'd refer to you two as ignorant but realize it isn't your fault. You simply don't know. Next, you'll try and tell me their skeletal structures are exactly the same as Caucasians or manmade global warming is real.
9:55, don't play, you know the answer. How bout' this, It's 12 percent of the u.s population. Does that help. And, at the rate "they" kill each other it is soon to be 11 percent. Does that help? Got it now? Come on, even you can figure this out.
If you feel the need to speak in code about a group of people—if you can’t express your ideas in plain and clear language, then you are a racist piece of dog shit.
And the world will be a little better on the day when we all metaphorically scrape you off our collective shoe.
To repeat, apparently endlessly, no local transit district will succeed in lowering the number of trains rolling through our community. That railway easement is private property. Encinitas and NCTD have no power to demand anything.
Only mother nature can make a difference. Rail all you want, and you will. Blame Tony, and you will. I have never voted for tony and never will so don't accuse me of being one of his lemmings. If you, the train guy, want to do anything, pray for mother nature for help. It will be about as useful as your raving here every day is. We get it. We don't like the train traffic anymore than you do. There is a well known saying about things you can't do anything about. Don't worry be happy is not it, but it accomplishes as much.
2:49 Hi Mali! Don’t you have some other town to harass? Your welcome is worn out here, not that you ever had one. How about you fly away w/your bestie Blakespear…and don’t let the door hit you in the Ass!
4:48, it’s sad that you think that an anonymous person who despises racist pieces of dog shit like you must be MWD, rather than the truth—which is that it’s actually a view held by most people. It’s you that’s the anachronistic outlier.
I’m a woman you Dick. Your stupid comments make me think your brain is a small as your micro-dick.
Of course, NCTD could lower the number of trains that run on their railroad, they could choose not to run any of the 30 empty wasteful and highly polluting Coaster trips a day.
The pollution laden ghost trains only started back in 1995
Read up about it micro-dick:
Funding for right-of-way acquisition and construction costs came from TransNet, a 1987 measure that imposed a 0.5% sales tax on San Diego County residents for transportation projects.[6] The Board established the San Diego Northern Railway Corporation (SDNR) – a nonprofit operating subsidiary – in 1994.[6] SDNR purchased the 41 miles (66 km) of the Surf Line within San Diego County plus the 22-mile (35 km) Escondido Branch (later used for the SPRINTER) from the Santa Fe Railway that year.[7]
Coaster service began on February 27, 1995.[6] NCTD originally contracted Amtrak to provide personnel for Coaster trains.[8] In July 2006, TransitAmerica Services took over the day-to-day operation of the commuter train, based on a five-year, $45 million contract with NCTD.[8][9] In 2016, Bombardier Transportation replaced TransitAmerica as Coaster's operator.[10]
We know, micro-sick works for the diesel producers or the diesel locomotive industry or something related.
For the rest of us, logical folks, there’s some real information:
Despite popular misperception, there is only a small amount of freight operated by BNSF that shares the line. The SANDAG link and pie chart below notes that rail freight in San Diego County is only 0.5% of total freight, with the other 99%+ effectively coming from the highways. The total volume on the NCTD tracks is 30,000 carloads annually, an average of 82 carloads per day, typically coming from two nighttime runs. This is an extremely small amount of volume compared to the 1+ million daily trips that occur on the 5 highway. In the future, highway trucking will benefit from autonomous vehicle technology, particularly with the ability to platoon and schedule trips during the night when highways have more capacity.
Of course the NCTD could lower the number of trains inning on their tracks? Dream on. Proof? More like poof. You said it so it must be true. Proof?
Train guy? Train girl? Who the f cares? A non-issue. What is the issue is these ramblings of a demented mind that repeat the same thing repeatedly, ad nauseam.
Life must be quite something else in his/her imaginary world. My, my, I must hate women, eh? How you got there is a creation pulled out of some place dark in your psyche.
4:42-OK Tiny. Keep on with your ignoring the facts. You repetitiously respond with “train guy” but never addressed the fact that the ridership on a coaster is nonexistent and his dropped over 60% from pre-covet and greater from prior years.
Secondly, it’s highly polluting and damaging to our adjacent communities, and fill in the lungs of a school children with pollution.
You’re even wrong on your mantra. If you were going to call me something it would be:
No pollution woman, no pollution woman, no pollution woman,
I could care less about trains, and it’s unfortunate that you work in the diesel industry.
Catch a clue, and you better start getting into a study program or you’re gonna find yourself out of a job.
The polluting coaster is going away…. All it takes is a majority of board members of NCTD, and the service stops.
I don’t believe the city council members that are on the NCTD board are blind. So all they need to do is go take a trip on the ghost trains and see that no one’s riding them and it’s a huge waste of taxpayers money.
And most importantly, it’s polluting our communities which they are supposed to be serving and pumping spent diesel fumes out over elementary school children’s playing field. in Encinitas that is Paul Ecke Central, and Cardiff elementary.
So go ahead and call me antipollution woman, or a train guy or whatever transgender title you wanna give me. I’m good with whatever.
The highly polluting coaster service will stop. It’s just a matter of how many millions tons of spent diesel fuel and other pollutions are pumped out next to our kids and how many millions and millions of tax dollars we went to waste on that negative impact on our community.
Thanks and have a great day. I hope you can stay clear of that toxic coaster service.
If you have a few minute and want to learn about truths associated with the rail service here is a great reference.

The NCTD representative for the City of Encinitas is now is Kellie Hinze. Considering Kellie is a new mom and her baby girl may be attending PEC in the coming years, she may want to address this huge pollution tax wasting issue. No only is the Coaster program itself highly damaging it it also lead to the fencing off historical access to our Coastline which greatly reduces health active transportation within Encinitas and pushes more and more people into there cars to drive everywhere including to the beach that the locals all used to walk to.....
Please contact Kelly today at
Kellie Hinze Council Member 760-633-2622 khinze@encinitasca.gov
....and request she promote active transportation and stop the extremely harmful highly polluting Coaster service ASAP.
“Rail transportation is extremely important to DOD since our heavy and tracked vehicles will deploy by rail to seaports of embarkation.”
If you think the DOD is going to allow the elimination of the only rail connection to the home port of the Pacific Fleet during a time of rising tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea, then you are not living in reality.
Do some historical research. Lookup how that rail line was used during WWII. It was absolutely critical to operations in the Pacific theater.
The fleet in San Diego isn’t very useful if it can’t move heavy gear that destroys roads.
How do you think the refueling assemblies for the nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers get to San Diego? And the nuclear warheads for the ballistic missile subs and destroyers? And the air launched nuclear cruise missiles for the carriers?
Not to mention the conventional ordinance. Old stuff going for refurbishment or destruction—new stuff coming in to replace it.
Imagine the trillions of neutrinos streaming through kid bodies as the trains pass two elementary school playgrounds. There’s no shielding to hold back those neutrinos.
My kids went to school there. It’s all pretty harmless really. But it sure is fun to scare the bejesus out of the irrational mommies by bringing it up.
No-one is saying the military rail will be shut down. In fact we are saying the opposite. The military rail line needs to be secured in a more stable location off the erosive beaches.
To answer your question about movement of military people of goods..... thats simple..... 99.5 %+ of all military people and good travel by highway, ship and air to and from the bases. The military transports its heavy loads via ship and highway. The current rail is way way to weak. Same goes for the decommissioning and removal of the San Onofre Nuclear Power plant. The heavy loads are shipped out on the Highways. The rails can not handle the heavy loads. Fact. You need to read the facts.
Again you fail to address facts. Your distractions are moot.
The highly polluting 30 empty ghost train Coaster trips will be stopped. Its just a matter of how many million and million tons of spent diesel toxin will wash over our communities and into developing lung and the ten of millions of tax-dollars wasted as other needs of tax dollars languish.
Please Kelly. The children's lungs are more important than ghost trains.
And where is the press on this Erin Brockovich issue?!
Sure you can move M1A1s in ones and twos on the road during peacetime.
But that’s not what our military plans for. They plan for wartime, when they need to move heavy gear by the hundreds to port. That kind of traffic on roads would destroy them.
And the nuclear fuel assemblies and weapons, as well as conventional weapons probably do travel by rail, as it’s far safer statistically.
Maybe 50 or 100 years from now with sea level rise it will make sense to relocate the rails inland. But it’s not going to happen in my lifetime. It’s going to be cheaper and easier maintain the tracks in situ for many years to come.
Enjoy the nukes passing by.
And also, if war ever does break out, those rails may also be a target for hypersonic cruise missiles.
We are not back 1941- The one thing for certain is change.
Its sounds like your mind has deteriorated and you are not cognizant of change, so I hope you enjoy some sun and have a nice nap this wonderful Sunday.
For those that are interested in accurate and interesting topics, check out why the Coaster ridership has gone close to zero. We are living through a Technological Disruption and I love it!
10:36 it's true. Was several years back. I've actually got a clip of it.
Saw a natty gas powered bus locally yesterday. Zero passengers. It could have been windmill powered but still would have been empty. Human beings are autonomous and not the false definition that Wikipropopedia has lol. Able bodies gainfully productive humans do not want to have anything to do with public transportation. Can you blame them?
Yeah, well, I’ve been betting that the tracks would not move for 150 years, and I’ve won that bet every year. And I’m betting on it again this year, and for the rest of my years on this planet. And I’ll win those bets too.
I’d love it if you took the other side of that bet.
Train girl is committed to her position and will not be dismayed by the truth that the train is not going anywhere. There is always Mother Nature to hope for. Hopes for no more trains or any less trains per day is all she has. Hopes. Committed? She might be a good candidate for being committed to an institution that could help her declining mental condition. There is help out there for you train girl.
I live east of the 5 and can hear the train at all hours. I don't how much further east people can hear it. Maybe others will chime in and let us know. Trader Joes? Doubtful but maybe on a quiet night. The coastal fog at times can carry the train sounds further.
11:55 That’s true. It’s a known fact that trains or subways produce a fraction of the carbon dioxide emissions and pollution compared to passenger vehicles. So Train Girl has some other hidden agenda.
11:55- yeah I have something in it it’s called not giving children cancer. It’s a big deal.
Secondly, I also hate to see tens of millions of dollars wasted on empty ghost trains. I don’t understand what could you possibly see is positive about empty polluting trains?
You obviously have not referenced any of the information provided. Tell us what positives are there in the coaster?
Why do you call people that dislike the coaster train guy or train girl?
It makes absolutely zero sense.
I know you won’t respond to any questions or print find any facts because you’re just a smokescreen.
It’s OK though hopefully you’re in a program for some productive clean job because I see the NCTD board getting away from diesel burning, highly polluting cancer causing Coaster.
Cancer touches all of us’: In San Diego, first lady highlights cancer
I notice the difference especially when I’m in cleaner air. We’re living in a petri dish with all this pollution. — Philomena Marino
Comment to Kelly -
Kelly hopefully you are aware of the cancer causing pollution from spent diesel fumes. Its really sad the Coaster service is pumping these pollutants into the developing lungs of children as they play adjacent to the polluting Coaster route tying to actually have fun and improve their health.
In my opinion, no addressing this highly polluting source is very very vey bad by our local governments…..and I am very surprised that local news channels have not pick up on this Era Brockovich issue.
Please serve the communities and specifically the children in our community.
Train person is a hot mess. After being offended by being referred to as “Train Guy,” someone switched it to ‘Train Girl.” But naaas, said person is now offended by ‘Train Girl!’ But seemed to be a little less offended by ‘Trains-gender.’ I’m telling you, these wacky woke people get offended by the smallest of things. You’d think if this person was so concerned with what they’re called, that they’d post with their actual name. Must be rough going through life with so many bugs plugging up your butt.
Train Girl sounds like one of those Elitist types that grew up with a silver spoon and never had a problem in her life, so she has to make something a problem and scream from the mountain tops ad nauseam about trains.
You’re going to wear out your vocal chords lady, well before any car exhaust, and especially train exhaust ever effects you. I’d be more concerned about your mental health issues. I suggest moving somewhere where you won’t get any exhaust from vehicles of any kind, and can finally find some peace. And remember, train emissions are way safer than car emissions. So you have to pick somewhere far away from populated areas. Alaska maybe? Or perhaps a foreign country might be more suitable for you? Russia has a lot of wide open land. Might work well w/your commie woke agenda….
2:17- City Staffers tell me all the City Council members read the blog. I also confirmed it with a few I've known over the years. why are you so grumpy? Do you work for the Diesel Industry too?
2:05 You’re right about me nailing it! Thx! But you failed at your little guessing game. I’m not a Grandpa. In fact, I’m probably younger than you. And I’m not even a dude. I’ve never drank an old fashioned, or ate pork belly. But my Grandpa did, and he lived to be 100. And he was a Train Engineer. So you totally missed the mark loser.
2:55 You sound like an ageist. But age isn’t a concern of anyones here except yours, and I t’s apparent you’d have the same level of immaturity, no mature what age you are.
You’re bigger issues seem to be with your sexual identity, or lack thereof.
You’re also obsessed with talking about penis’s and their sizes.
And your mental issues are confirmed with each repetitive huge Train rant. I would suggest a Psycholgist for you, but the only one most of us know is Dr. Nutbird whose license was revoked. And she’d probably screw you up worse than you already are.
So moving where there are no Trains is probably still your best option. But remember….there can’t be any cars there either, as their emissions are way worse than trains.
And if you don’t like a previous posters reccomendations of Alaska or Russia, there’s always Amish communities. They still do horse and buggies, thus no train or car emissions. They probably won’t take you though, due to your level of hostility. But it’s worth a shot. You haven’t exactly been successful here, so maybe greener pastures await you in Amishville! Best of Luck Train person!
5:18- Thats a great argument. Wow. Trains must be efficient and those 500 people taking the coaster at $40,000,000 per year really make sense. Thanks for clarifying the issue!
Fun fact: Encinitas is where it is because of the trains.
Steam trains needed to refill fresh water tanks to make the steam to drive the pistons.
One of the few reliable fresh water sources along our semi-arid coast was a well dug where the tracks cross Cottonwood Creek.
Every train had to stop, and while the tanks were filled, the passengers would get out to stretch their legs. Some savvy entrepreneur types moved there and opened shops to take advantage of the captive audience.
And yadda yadda yadda, cue montage of Pannikin, Derby House, Historic schoolhouse, and that’s how Encinitas was born.
Trillions of nuclear neutrinos passing right through our precious children. Subatomic particles traveling at nearly the speed of light that go right through school buildings and brains.
And all from the nuclear weapons being transported right through Encinitas en route to navy ships stationed in San Diego.
Do radioactive materials put out neutrinos? Yes. Do they go through your body? Yes. Should you be scared? Absolutely not. They are harmless.
“ Even a banana emits neutrinos—they come from the natural radioactivity of the potassium in the fruit.
Once produced, these ghostly particles almost never interact with other matter. Tens of trillions of neutrinos from the sun stream through your body every second, but you can’t feel them.”
Check out page 417/447 - Rail operations when from 6 employees in 2018 to 130 employees in 2022.... well now we know who is screaming Train Guy, Train Girl, Trainsvestites, ... .its likely one of the union bosses of the 130 operators of this diesel pollution program..... they don't care about pollution or death... union leaders say just keep paying the union dues.
What are the main health concerns? Short term exposure to diesel exhaust can cause coughing, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Breathing in diesel exhaust can cause lung irritation and/or an allergic reaction causing asthma (wheezing and difficult breathing), or making pre-existing asthma worse. Other symptoms may include feeling lightheaded, headache, or nausea.
Long term exposure may lead to serious health effects. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), determining that exposure to diesel exhaust emissions increases the risk for lung cancer and possibly bladder cancer.
Who is at risk of exposure to diesel exhaust? The most common way individuals are exposed is by breathing air that contains the diesel particulate matter. The fine and ultra fine particles are respirable, which means that the particles can avoid many of the human respiratory system defense mechanisms and enter deeply into the lung.
Workers may be at risk:
In areas where diesel powered vehicles are used repaired, or tested such as forklift trucks, railway locomotive, buses, trucks, construction vehicles, farm vehicles. Where diesel exhaust can accumulate, such as warehouses, car/bus depots, ferries/ships, garages, vehicle testing sites, fire stations, mines, or where diesel generators or winch motors are used. In occupations that work in areas where exhaust levels are high or can accumulate, such as police and traffic officers, custom officer/border control booths, ticket/toll booth operators, drivers of diesel vehicles (buses, subway/railway,
Link to old report prior to 2022 increase in train service by 30% from 22 to 30 per day. Shows 1,150,000 Gallons of Diesel for Coaster Annually in 2015.
Last projection I saw was 1.4 million gallon's per year. Thats Mega Diesel spent fuel spewing out to surrounding communities associated with the ghost trains.
4:50 pm Your fun and also true facts are much appreciated. Yada, yada, yada to those who suffer from a myopia of their own making. The truth, the real truth, is not a case of alternative facts. There is no such thing in the real world.
To the train person, he or she, who the f cares, we are all waiting for your facts about diesel fumes from our trains directly causing cancer to Encinitas residents. Speculations are not fact based, and you are intelligent to have to know that as fact.
One thing I can see is, you have been affected by something debilitating. Mentally, to be quite clear.
No worries, many will eventually suffer some cognitive degradation in our later years. There is some remediation available that can mitigate these losses. Please make use of what can be helpful to you, your family, and your community.
6:21 “ Exhaust from diesel engines brings a complex mixture of soot and gases to roadways, cities, farms, and other places. Health concerns about diesel exhaust relate not only to cancer, but also to other health problems such as lung and heart diseases.”
“ Exhaust from diesel engines brings a complex mixture of soot and gases to roadways, cities, farms, and other places. Health concerns about diesel exhaust relate not only to cancer, but also to other health problems such as lung and heart diseases.”
The “exhaust’ from trains and cars put together, is nothing compared to the “exhaust” coming from ‘Train persons’ mouth. It is repetitive and “exhaust” ing.
“ Exhaust from diesel engines brings a complex mixture of soot and gases to roadways, cities, farms, and other places. Health concerns about diesel exhaust relate not only to cancer, but also to other health problems such as lung and heart diseases.”
Yes The empty polluting ghost trains are sooo fun!
and, they offer a reliable steady source of suicides
AnonymousFebruary 4, 2023 at 7:25 PM 4:50p - hate to tell you, but I think people are here because of the Pacific Ocean not trains.
Trains are/were awesome! Just like 8-tracks, Marlboro Reds, and Ford Pintos… all are great for your health.
Next topic please…. I can tell you I never take the train. And judging from the statistics in those links and seeing the empty trains go by it looks like not many people are taking the trains. Sorry train lovers, I wish it was not so.
I’m not buying the fact that Train Guy is now claiming to be a Girl:
Clue #1 If he was a guy, why wouldn’t he have come out of the closet months ago? He suddenly springs his new identity on us after mnths of being called ‘Train Guy’ that he’s not a dude, and gaslights us.
Clue #2 He acts mad when we no longer refers to him as a guy, and instead embrace his desire to be a girl.
Clue #3 He’s way to obsessed with Penis size to be a woman. I’ve never known women to care about that. It’s what guys do with it that matters.
*I only ever heard one woman talking about penis size. She was bragging to a group of women about how big her black boyfriends penis was. (totally unclassy). So if ‘Penis Guy’ is actually a woman, she’s a very ‘Skanky’ one!
And if he/she can’t be trusted with their Trains-gender identity, how can we believe anything else he/she/it says?
who cares? Have you started your solar installation classes so you have a decent job in a year from now?
Trains were cool and were a good alternative for moving across the country about 100 years, before jet travel. Things change.
Watch Dr. Seba's video. He explains it in the first 3 minutes of the. video. I guarantee you will get it after you watchit.... hint- the transformation of transportation in NYC from 1900 to 1913 tells the story.... The same disruption and transformation is happening now. Trains have not even been in the equation in 40 years.
Enjoy your ghost trains while you still have them. In fact, listen to your 8-track with earphones on your next train trip. Cheers! 😌
Nice. So you are saying because the women was talking about her black boyfriend she was a skank?
You not only hate women, you are racist. A stupid misogynistic racist idiot that loves polluting trains.
I feel for you. That is one closed up twisted mind you are living with. Get help. It doesn't need to be this hard. We love and are here for you. It's not your fault.
Evacuation and shelter-in-place orders remain in effect in a northeastern Ohio town after a train derailment sparked a massive fire and concerns about air quality.
A Norfolk Southern train with more than 100 cars derailed in East Palestine, about 15 miles south of Youngstown, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
There were 20 cars with hazardous material in the train – 10 of which derailed. Of those 10, five were carrying vinyl chloride, the NTSB said Saturday night.
Still no evidence presented about any local residents coming down with cancer from train exhaust as asked for multiple times. No need to wonder why. Train person is off the rails.
“ Exhaust from diesel engines brings a complex mixture of soot and gases to roadways, cities, farms, and other places. Health concerns about diesel exhaust relate not only to cancer, but also to other health problems such as lung and heart diseases.”
Look. You are right I am Train Girl (makes me feel young, Love it!). Trains are great where they make sense. I lived in the SF Bay area for years and loved BART. It was electric, quiet, fast, and grade-separated. It was also usually pretty empty so seating was plentiful.
If NCTD want a train and thinks they have the demand or ridership to support a train from the suburbs of North County have at it. Call it NART - North Area Rapid Transit. What NCTD currently calls the polluting service of today is not working at all. Coaster - Diesel, Polluting, loud, congestion causing and deadly at-grade crossings, and super slow. They should change the name to NAPST - North Area Polluting Slow Transit. Much much more appropriate.
Convert that current polluting rail line to EV grade separated and we are all good.
Have a great day and I hope you can avoid the plumes of diesel and dust washing over the lungs of the people attending the farmers market today (Cough, Cough).
Where is Liane M. Randolph, from The California Air Resources Board. Please contact her and tell her you are very concerned about the developing lung of our youth with the Coaster damaging them daily.

12:06 - Sorry. I can not stay up that late. Sleep is important.
There was plenty of information about how burning millions of gallons of fuel next to elementary schools causes cancer but yet you still ask for proof. Well, I will do my best but its not as simple as a Coaster train blasts by Cardiff Elementary spewing diesel fumes over the schools playgrounds and then our children all drop death from cancer. Diesel is not cyanide, but it is high carcinogenic.
Please reference the following article about the results around bays filled with diesel smoke and high rates of cancer in the surrounding committees. Unfortunately our kids are no different than their kids and will suffer the same fate when exposed to the spent diesel discharges.
Diesel truck pollution kills Mitsubishi warehouse deal at Port of San Diego
...Such pollution contributes to fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, which when inhaled exacerbates conditions such as asthma and heart disease. The tiny particles can lodge deep in a person’s lungs, even their bloodstream.
Barrio Logan already suffers from some of the worst asthma- and cancer-causing air pollution in the state.
Rafael Castellanos, chair of the commission overseeing the Port, said the situation signals a “change in culture” at the agency.
What we need is is a “change in culture” at NCTD. Please contact Kelly today. Kelly has a precious daughter who some day may consider attending a local elementary school. I would think Kelly is concerned about the air the kids are breathing as they play in the playground right adjacent to the diesel exhaust flumes going by 30 times a day.
Kellie Hinze, Council Member, NCTD Boardmember 760-633-2622 khinze@encinitasca.gov
Thank you Kelly! We know you care about our children!! Please initiate the "change in culture" that is so badly needed at NCTD.
In comparison to the principal alternative, the diesel engine, electric railways offer substantially better energy efficiency, lower emissions, and lower operating costs. Electric locomotives are also usually quieter, more powerful, and more responsive and reliable than diesels. They have no local emissions, an important advantage in tunnels and urban areas. Some electric traction systems provide regenerative braking that turns the train's kinetic energy back into electricity and returns it to the supply system to be used by other trains or the general utility grid. While diesel locomotives burn petroleum products, electricity can be generated from diverse sources, including renewable energy.[1] Historically concerns of resource independence have played a role in the decision to electrify railway lines. The landlocked Swiss confederation which almost completely lacks oil or coal deposits but has plentiful hydropower electrified its network in part in reaction to supply issues during both World Wars.
Apparently Caltrain in the Bay Area has much smarter board than NCTD
Electric trains will produce substantially less corridor air pollution compared with diesel trains, helping meet the state’s emission reduction goals. Increased ridership will reduce automobile usage, resulting in additional air quality benefits.
An electrified Caltrain will increase ridership and fare revenues while decreasing fuel costs
Yep. Every several years like clockwork a truck gets stuck at Leucadia Boulevard and a train smashes into it. Sooner or later, that’s going to be a cargo train full of all kinds of toxic fuels, and the people on Vulcan are going to have railroad carts with fire balls, flaming through their homes.
Can’t wait to see the Dunce try and address that one.
Evening headlines., “ 278 people die with 10 minutes after fire balls, explode through their homes and flying railcars flatten an entire neighborhood. “
Trains are very safe. Using anecdotal outliers to make a point instead of comprehensive statistical evidence is what simpleton morons do.
Sure, you can post a story about someone who drown to make the point that drinking a glass of water isn’t good for you. But doing that would only make you look like a simpleton moron, so why would you?
But if we’re playing that game, then I guess the lesson of Phineaus Gage’s story is that it’s perfectly safe to have a 3ft 7in, 13.5lb steel rod shot through your brain. Perfectly safe.
“ Exhaust from diesel engines brings a complex mixture of soot and gases to roadways, cities, farms, and other places. Health concerns about diesel exhaust relate not only to cancer, but also to other health problems such as lung and heart diseases.”
Completely off topic, thankfully, at the Enc. Library today, Sunday, at 2pm a wonderful longtime folksy rock group will be playing for an hour. This is the kind of diversion we can all use and appreciate. Come on down for some relief.
I started off putting the N-scale toy trains up my ass and recently moved up to the O-scale (or as I call it the Ohhhhhhhh-scale). Anyway before the last council meeting, my wife was putting the 14th freight car up my ballon knot which was a new record for me but also uncomfortable and I ended up freaking out. I started pulling the train cars out of my ass one by one as fast as possible but right as I got near the end they became unlinked. As a result I have my custom E4E caboose stuck in my ass. It's been there for days and Mali's not returning my calls. - Tony
So many more need to be held accountable for their treasonous behavior. That some of these same traitors are now serving in Congress and have been appointed to committees is sickening.
Every one of them broke the oaths they took to defend our nation against all who attack our country. There is also the fact that anyone who does such is/should be prevented from ever running for public office.
If by “took out” you mean promoted the undefeated GOAT who stacked the council with reliable and strong council members who will continue her legacy for years to come, then I agree with you.
If you hear private planes flying over and over, back and forth, I'm going to start publishing these flyiing school names that are making money flying in circles over Encinitas and Solana Beach. Putting your families in danger. They make money for their flying school and you get leaded plane exhaust in the air in your lungs besides for the dangers of a plane crash. Two weeks ago Christopher Sluka "crash landed on the beach in Carlsbad". The next day, his company was flying in circles over Encinitas. Just this morning, Sluka is flying back and forth over Encinitas. That company couldn't care less about safety.
Let me add, these schools at Montgomery Field are in for a huge surprise if they continue flying in circles, back and forth over and over the 10's of thousands in Encinitas and Solana Beach. Phone calls to major private plane insurers, Homeland Security for domestic terrorism, government pollution control for the state of California. Oh' we have more up our sleeves. That, is just the beginning. I know some very smart people.
There is NOTHING in any FAA regulations granting or allowing private planes to fly in circles/bach and forth over 10's of thousands of people, schools, homes etc. These schools are making money putting people as risk. You don't think I've done my homework??? Per the FAA, 1000 private plane crash every year across the U.S. Eight crashed here in San Diego County last year. These flight schools fly 17 miles to Solana Beach and Encinitas to fly in circles. And yes...we will publish "everyone" that puts our area in jeopardy. EVERYONE. Four of us are ex-military. If you don't think we can find intel on these planes, THINK AGAIN
Part of the training is to practice stuff like flying a ground track circle or figure 8 with a cross wind. Also, flying on pylon vs around pylon turns, which air traffic control may command you to perform to enter patterns or avoid traffic. Also practicing stall recovery, high bank constant altitude turns, and simulated engine out scenarios. That “circling” you see is normal, necessary, and safe as long as it’s not being done in Class Bravo airspace, military airspace, or below 1000 ft AGL in populated areas.
You’ll find the FAA doesn’t change these rules for you, even if you ask nicely or are a veteran.
If only you could employ some kind of a toxicity sensor to quantify the exhaust of these small planes overhead and trains spewing you would be our hero. A big if..... but come on down. You can do it. You can prove that we are all being poisoned beyond a shadow of a doubt with facts that residents are getting cancer directly from these two polluting sources in our specific community.
Now there are four train persons? It must be contagious. Who knew mental degradation could be spread on a blog? PTSD is more like it. While I thank you for your service, I ant you to know there is help available. The VA is there for you and your fellow train people.
Have at it. Publishing every anonymous poster will be quite the trick. You know where you are, right?
Sorbi aviation flying 17 miles from Montgomery Field to fly in circles/back and forth over Encinitas. I tried to be nice to them and asked them to stop flying circles. They don't care, they are unsafe and couldn't care less about the citizens of Encinitas. That's Sorbi aviation.
It isn't simply sorbi, it's all of them but "all names" including flight clubs will be posted when they fly in circles over our neighborhoods. We tried and tried for the last three years. No more trying, we are done being nice. We tried the polite way, that rarely gets anyone...anywhere...anymore And as an added note, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar are considered un-regulated air space. That was told to me by FAA. When we got that info, the gloves came off. Now it's "ground and pound", the old fashion way. They mess with our families safety... Good luck
A 1200 flight today over Encinitas and Solana Beach. 6 times each. at 9:30 a.m You see, the pilot uses a 1200 number to hide the tail number and NO ONE at Montgomery Field will give us the tail number. It's done quite often. This way they are hiding their unsafe flying over our families.
BTW, you’re probably looking at ADS-B data. And the 1200 you are seeing is a squawk code. Air Traffic Controllers assign codes over the radio, and the pilot enters the code into a box on the control panel. Every time the aircraft senses the sweep of a radar beam, it sends out the code. Back at ATC, the radar return and squawk codes are merged and shown on a display.
Some squawk codes are unique to a given aircraft so controllers can keep straight who they are talking to.
In this case 1200 is a generic code given to any aircraft flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), usually meaning they are not being followed and directed by air traffic controllers through a filed flight plan.
It’s not to hide a tail number. It’s just to ID the plan as a VFR doing his own thing. This is normal for a student pilot practicing with or without an instructor onboard, and logging hours.
There are often many planes squawking 1200 in the same area. So it’s not surprising that whoever you called couldn’t or wouldn’t give you a tail number.
11:05 Thank you for the others that don't understand. But, I do. And it's always and excuse to hide what these planes are doing over and over tens of thousands of people that DON'T live near an airport. Seventeen miles to fly over and over Encinitas and Solana Beach, oh' it's going to stop as we will publish every day, every plane and owner or school that flies like this. We are done putting up with the BS. You are very polite but we living under this danger zone and are no longer polite. The things we have up our sleeves if the back and forth and circling doesn't stop will expose this entire fraud of safety first. Tic Toc
10:45...use you brain. IT'S UNSAFE TO FLY BACK AND FORTH AND IN CIRCLES over tens of thousands of people and their homes. They fly over and over schools and I just got of the phone with an airport official. They told me flying circles over schools is prohibited !!!! 1000 private planes go down every year in the u.s. We don't care if they fly out and back to reach their destination. Just this morning Yolar Corporation and Coast Flight School making money putting families at risk flying circles. Wake up and smell the spent leaded plane fuel.
Here is something specific even you can understand Homeland Security. They got called several months ago on a plane that flew 20 times in circles over heavily populated areas in Carlsbad. It's call Domestic Terrorism. Needless to say and oddly, our group never registered a complaint on that tail number again. Now why do you think that is?...hmmmm? You can quote all the FAA crapola you want, but trust me, you do not want those lads showing at your place. They couldn't care less about your FAA regs. Safety First...not safety last. 8 planes down just in San Diego last year. Where were your regs then? You people are all the same but be advised, you fly in circles over our familes and schools. Tic Toc Sluka flight school just this morning over Encinitas... Eight times.
Go ahead pinhead, see where that gets ya' So reporting schools flying in circles over populated areas is a threat???? Excuse me??? I suppose you think Homeland Security is a threat as well. Go ahead and see what happens. You live in a bizarro world. You probably believe in man made global warming as you write exactly like the one....that does. Dream world for nut cases
Ho Simpson. This jerk today circled Encinitas 15 times. Tail number N54502. Domestic Terrorism over schools and 10's of thousands of people. Just wait until one comes down and wipes out a bunch of kids. Remember, one went down in Carlsbad two weeks ago. Tic Toc
And just to keep everyone here in the loop. I have just emailed the FAA safety department in D.C to address dangerous flying conditions over Encinitas and Solana Beach. I/WE won't stop. We got no where with the local FAA as they don't set the controlled airspace. So, it's off to the people that do. Remember, these schools are flying in circles, back and forth over the schools and your homes making money selling classes. And, for the clown that thinks they are going to call the FBI on me, I welcome it. My background? Safety for huge corporations, construction, public safety and writing Safety Standards for thousands of employees. BRING IT ON !!!!!
Christophor Sluka flight school this morning 8 times over Encinitas back and forth, tail number N8218Z. The same sluka that crash landed on a Carlsbad beach two weeks ago. Coast Flight School, 6 times back and forth over Encinitas. Tail number N404CA. Christiansen Aviaton 6 times over Encinitas and 10 over Solana Beach registered in Delaware so you can't find a phone number. See the scam? Sorbi Aviation 6 times over and over Encinitas. Plus One Flyers tail number N737HY six times over and over. ALL COMMING OUT OF MONTGOMERY FIELD AND NOT EVEN 10:00 AM. They do not care about your families safety or the air as plane fuel has LEAD in it. Lead in automobile fuel hasn't been used in decades.
San Diego Flight Training International 13 times over Encinitas today at 2:10 p.m. Then back to Montgomery Field. Think your kids are safe in school? Good luck with that thought.
I thought you were going to do something about those planes. Where is the action on your part? Can you do anything but post you outrage here? Can you install some pollution gathering sensors that will prove your point we are being poisoned by these training flights? Direct evidence only. Anything less is worth nothing. Substantiate your claims our residents in Encinitas are being directly and negatively affected.
Ohhh' you have no idea genius. Ever delt with the people in D.C? No? Get a clue, I have. It's the u.s government...Nuff said. In the meantime we will continue to post unsafe flying over 10's of thousands and schools. Either you are a senseless buffoon or, you don't live here. Is it both? I wonder.

What will the effect on city tax revenues be if housing prices drop?
Will the Encinitas CIP plans need to be reevaluated?
Interesting to note that while Leucadia and Cardiff are haggling over bike lanes, Olivenhain is focused on sewer infrastructure, way down the list at #25 in importance.
Tony gave your Transnet vote and dollars to San Diego as your SANDAG representative.
DeleteBicycle project #2, a rail trail connecting La Costa to Santa Fe and the current trail is the holy grail of N/S coastal mobility. It'll be $22M well spent.
DeleteFor the second time this year and maybe ever, I agree with Marco.
DeleteI had quite a few friends that sold within the last 6 months and got out of the market. 👌
ReplyDeleteTheir timing was exquisite! 💵💵💵💵💵
The city is going to be hurting big-time with all the costs skyrocketing, due to inflation, and the reduction in sales tax, and TOT and the flattening out of the revenues from increasing property taxes. What’s that are gonna look like as far as future projects and long-term operations and maintenance costs?
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT what about the TRAINS!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYup….the ghost trains….👎

All on our tax dollars when there are uses that could improve our quality of life that never seems to enter staffs or councils minds, if they had them to begin with.
ReplyDeleteThe MAP references the Zero Vision plan.
DeleteWhat other ways of improving quality of life do you refer to? Interesting topic.
Scott- Looking forward to your comments this year at the City Council meeting.
DeleteLast year you were awesome. Question- Are you going to stay on point or continue to let the Dunce slide?

DeleteAgreed….
DeleteI feel bad for you all near the track… when I tried going to eat in the downtown Leucadia the train was so freaking loud. I’ll never go back..
I can’t believe your prior council representative, and now Mayor did nothing the whole time he was on NCTD for 10 YEARS. While other smart cities like San Clemente, San Diego, and Solana Beach took action on the issue and implemented a Quietzones. A few simple improvements a little paperwork and no problem. That is, unless if you’re a dunce. And then everything is a problem.
Tony made it worse and actually increase the noise by 30% 🤣🤣🤣
Oh sorry unless if you live near those F’d up tracks… then 😢
So crazy you elected a Dunce. Seems like you will continue to pay and pay. 😂😂
11:55pm- I’m right there with you buddy.
ReplyDeleteWoke up? I wish.
This freaking train blasts all day and all night long without anybody ever riding it. It never even lets us sleep. Let alone wake up.
Don’t even get me started about the huge waste of money and pollution going on while others are looking just to survive.
Just a few years ago it was only about 10 trains per day Max. Now after Tony’s 19 years leading NCTD, the train trips are well over 60 and a blast are endless with hundreds and hundreds a day.
You know what’s the most common phrase I hear around Leucadia? ….
…. Fucking Kranz!!!
That’s right – fucking Kranz!!!!!
😡
*Now after Tony’s 10years leading NCTD, the train trips are well over 60 and a blast are endless with hundreds and hundreds a day.
DeleteHe doesn't lead NCTD, Matt Tucker leads NCTD....
DeleteThe Chair and board give direction (hire and fire) Matt Tucker....
DeleteWith Kranz, he let Matt spank him and put him in his place as Matt set the stage for a colossal Coaster failure:
1. Doing away with contracting for train service and hiring 125 people to run a train that no-one rides.
2. Purchase over $60 million in diesel trains on a line that no-one rides.
3. Hire over 120 new employees to service a train that no-one rides.
A perfect example of never vote for the Town Dunce for a City Council member.
Votes have consequences.
Sorry- forgot to add increased train service 30% after train ridership tanked over 90% . Train traffic was tanking since 2015 but covid dropped it to 10% ridership and its barely crawling back. Pathetically low.
DeleteMatt Tucker runs the show, when he came on, the board changed the rules to give him all the power. This was way, way back in 2008. Do your research.
Deletetony learned $tock$ lesson well. Do nothing. Use it as an old boys social club. Losers, the both of them.
ReplyDelete💯
DeleteAnd that’s Tony strongest attribute.
DeleteDo we have any control over the number of trains? It’s going to get worse since 15 years ago a bill was passed that about 70,000 triucks carrying food, and other nessesties we need will be off the road starting Feb 1. So it will have to come by train, unless the trains fall into the ocean, or Cargo ships. Look at higher prices and more food scarcity.
ReplyDeleteYes. NCTD is running 30 empty trains per day. Stop the pollution, known as the coaster.
DeleteTrain transport in San Diego is much much more expensive than truck, cargo transport costs. Look it up.
DeleteProvide the bill or otherwise, I can’t bullshit.
DeleteIf that is the case, we need to change the law
Train is always less expensive per ton-mile. But trucks offer greater flexibility and speed. For instance, the Dole ship that berths in San Diego offloads refrigerated containers of produce. These are perishable and need to get to distribution warehouses for all of the major grocery chains ASAP.
DeleteTrain schedules and connections are inflexible, and do not go directly to the destination. And a warehouse may not even be on a spur line.
There are reasons to sometimes prefer trucking, but cost usually isn’t one.
DeleteLike every other type of freight, you need to add up all of the different lines of transport. Trains in San Diego don’t make sense considering how many transfers you need to make. Two trucks to deliver the product.
Talk to any transport logistics, professional, and they will tell you, San Diego is not a train town. Singletracks through San Clemente shut that down.
Not to mention the $4 billion tunnel through Delmar and the $8 billion tunnel through Sorrento Valley to straighten out the tracks to make it semi-feasible.
Much better alternative is to put a second freight rail along the high speed alignment along I 15.
BNSF calls the shots, your opinions don't matter....
DeleteYou sure are wrong a lot.
DeleteBNSF sold the north county San Diego right away to NCTD back in the 90s along with all of its problems.
Why do you think the BNSF trains have been the only thing running through San Clemente? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
DeleteUS govt covid cash of $1B went to Equity and Diversity causes.
ReplyDeleteCan an Encinitas City Council member please give us a detailed spreadsheet accounting of where exactly this was allocated and more importantly a social ROI for that money?
The people thank you
5:48 - $10B went to lining Trump dum-dum pockets. Jared's super-skilled response team! hahahaha....
DeleteI would imagine that a government that conducted an unethical medical experiment to watch black men die of untreated syphilis for 40 years would probably have some trust issues with the black community that could adversely affect response to a pandemic.
DeleteSpending money to mitigate that problem and focus resources on underserved populations sounds like a good investment to me.
Please elaborate to bring the rest of us uninformed into the conversation. Thx

To repeat, apparently endlessly, no local transit district will succeed in lowering the number of trains rolling through our community. That railway easement is private property. Encinitas and NCTD have no power to demand anything.
ReplyDeleteOnly mother nature can make a difference. Rail all you want, and you will. Blame Tony, and you will. I have never voted for tony and never will so don't accuse me of being one of his lemmings. If you, the train guy, want to do anything, pray for mother nature for help. It will be about as useful as your raving here every day is. We get it. We don't like the train traffic anymore than you do. There is a well known saying about things you can't do anything about.

ReplyDeleteI’m a woman you Dick. Your stupid comments make me think your brain is a small as your micro-dick.
Of course, NCTD could lower the number of trains that run on their railroad, they could choose not to run any of the 30 empty wasteful and highly polluting Coaster trips a day.
The pollution laden ghost trains only started back in 1995
Read up about it micro-dick:
Funding for right-of-way acquisition and construction costs came from TransNet, a 1987 measure that imposed a 0.5% sales tax on San Diego County residents for transportation projects.[6] The Board established the San Diego Northern Railway Corporation (SDNR) – a nonprofit operating subsidiary – in 1994.[6] SDNR purchased the 41 miles (66 km) of the Surf Line within San Diego County plus the 22-mile (35 km) Escondido Branch (later used for the SPRINTER) from the Santa Fe Railway that year.[7]
Coaster service began on February 27, 1995.[6] NCTD originally contracted Amtrak to provide personnel for Coaster trains.[8] In July 2006, TransitAmerica Services took over the day-to-day operation of the commuter train, based on a five-year, $45 million contract with NCTD.[8][9] In 2016, Bombardier Transportation replaced TransitAmerica as Coaster's operator.[10]

Absolutely. I take offense to train guy as well. No one wants to be associated with that polluting cancer, causing nightmare. 😡
DeleteRepeat yourself much Micro-dick?
ReplyDeleteWe know, micro-sick works for the diesel producers or the diesel locomotive industry or something related.
ReplyDeleteFor the rest of us, logical folks, there’s some real information:
Despite popular misperception, there is only a small amount of freight operated by BNSF that shares the line. The SANDAG link and pie chart below notes that rail freight in San Diego County is only 0.5% of total freight, with the other 99%+ effectively coming from the highways. The total volume on the NCTD tracks is 30,000 carloads annually, an average of 82 carloads per day, typically coming from two nighttime runs. This is an extremely small amount of volume compared to the 1+ million daily trips that occur on the 5 highway. In the future, highway trucking will benefit from autonomous vehicle technology, particularly with the ability to platoon and schedule trips during the night when highways have more capacity.

Life must be quite something else in his/her imaginary world. My, my, I must hate women, eh? How you got there is a creation pulled out of some place dark in your psyche.
5:07- so weak. You guys are a joke.
ReplyDelete4:42-OK Tiny. Keep on with your ignoring the facts. You repetitiously respond with “train guy” but never addressed the fact that the ridership on a coaster is nonexistent and his dropped over 60% from pre-covet and greater from prior years.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, it’s highly polluting and damaging to our adjacent communities, and fill in the lungs of a school children with pollution.
You’re even wrong on your mantra. If you were going to call me something it would be:
No pollution woman, no pollution woman, no pollution woman,
I could care less about trains, and it’s unfortunate that you work in the diesel industry.
Catch a clue, and you better start getting into a study program or you’re gonna find yourself out of a job.
The polluting coaster is going away…. All it takes is a majority of board members of NCTD, and the service stops.
I don’t believe the city council members that are on the NCTD board are blind. So all they need to do is go take a trip on the ghost trains and see that no one’s riding them and it’s a huge waste of taxpayers money.
And most importantly, it’s polluting our communities which they are supposed to be serving and pumping spent diesel fumes out over elementary school children’s playing field. in Encinitas that is Paul Ecke Central, and Cardiff elementary.
So go ahead and call me antipollution woman, or a train guy or whatever transgender title you wanna give me. I’m good with whatever.
The highly polluting coaster service will stop. It’s just a matter of how many millions tons of spent diesel fuel and other pollutions are pumped out next to our kids and how many millions and millions of tax dollars we went to waste on that negative impact on our community.
Thanks and have a great day. I hope you can stay clear of that toxic coaster service.
If you have a few minute and want to learn about truths associated with the rail service here is a great reference.

The NCTD representative for the City of Encinitas is now is Kellie Hinze. Considering Kellie is a new mom and her baby girl may be attending PEC in the coming years, she may want to address this huge pollution tax wasting issue. No only is the Coaster program itself highly damaging it it also lead to the fencing off historical access to our Coastline which greatly reduces health active transportation within Encinitas and pushes more and more people into there cars to drive everywhere including to the beach that the locals all used to walk to.....

“Rail transportation is extremely important to DOD since our heavy and tracked vehicles will deploy by rail to seaports of embarkation.”
DeleteIf you think the DOD is going to allow the elimination of the only rail connection to the home port of the Pacific Fleet during a time of rising tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea, then you are not living in reality.
Do some historical research. Lookup how that rail line was used during WWII. It was absolutely critical to operations in the Pacific theater.
The fleet in San Diego isn’t very useful if it can’t move heavy gear that destroys roads.
Good luck, lady.
https://www.sddc.army.mil/sites/TEA/Functions/SpecialAssistant/Pages/RailroadsNationalDefense.aspx
BTW, here’s a fun thought:
DeleteHow do you think the refueling assemblies for the nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers get to San Diego? And the nuclear warheads for the ballistic missile subs and destroyers? And the air launched nuclear cruise missiles for the carriers?
Not to mention the conventional ordinance. Old stuff going for refurbishment or destruction—new stuff coming in to replace it.
Imagine the trillions of neutrinos streaming through kid bodies as the trains pass two elementary school playgrounds. There’s no shielding to hold back those neutrinos.
My kids went to school there. It’s all pretty harmless really. But it sure is fun to scare the bejesus out of the irrational mommies by bringing it up.
8:15/8:32 - Again you do not address the facts.
DeleteNo-one is saying the military rail will be shut down. In fact we are saying the opposite. The military rail line needs to be secured in a more stable location off the erosive beaches.
To answer your question about movement of military people of goods..... thats simple..... 99.5 %+ of all military people and good travel by highway, ship and air to and from the bases. The military transports its heavy loads via ship and highway. The current rail is way way to weak. Same goes for the decommissioning and removal of the San Onofre Nuclear Power plant. The heavy loads are shipped out on the Highways. The rails can not handle the heavy loads. Fact. You need to read the facts.
Again you fail to address facts. Your distractions are moot.
The highly polluting 30 empty ghost train Coaster trips will be stopped. Its just a matter of how many million and million tons of spent diesel toxin will wash over our communities and into developing lung and the ten of millions of tax-dollars wasted as other needs of tax dollars languish.
Please Kelly. The children's lungs are more important than ghost trains.
And where is the press on this Erin Brockovich issue?!
You are just plain wrong.
DeleteSure you can move M1A1s in ones and twos on the road during peacetime.
But that’s not what our military plans for. They plan for wartime, when they need to move heavy gear by the hundreds to port. That kind of traffic on roads would destroy them.
And the nuclear fuel assemblies and weapons, as well as conventional weapons probably do travel by rail, as it’s far safer statistically.
Maybe 50 or 100 years from now with sea level rise it will make sense to relocate the rails inland. But it’s not going to happen in my
lifetime. It’s going to be cheaper and easier maintain the tracks in situ for many years to come.
Enjoy the nukes passing by.
And also, if war ever does break out, those rails may also be a target for hypersonic cruise missiles.
9:29- You are a joke. No facts. Just BS.
DeleteWe are not back 1941- The one thing for certain is change.
Its sounds like your mind has deteriorated and you are not cognizant of change, so I hope you enjoy some sun and have a nice nap this wonderful Sunday.

I've seen the train go by with a mile long set of cars loaded up with tanks and armored car carriers.
DeleteCan we get a number on the pollution caused by the train? I think dust stirred up is more of on issue than any exhaust.
The train horn can be heard at Trader Joes.
10:32- that is absolutely the stupidest thing I’ve heard in the many years of this blog.
DeleteYou are 100% BS.
The facts are facts. Do yourself a favor and watch the referenced video.
10:36 it's true. Was several years back. I've actually got a clip of it.
DeleteSaw a natty gas powered bus locally yesterday. Zero passengers. It could have been windmill powered but still would have been empty. Human beings are autonomous and not the false definition that Wikipropopedia has lol. Able bodies gainfully productive humans do not want to have anything to do with public transportation. Can you blame them?
12:27- BS. If you got a clip, posted to YouTube or Amazon pictures or something and then provide a link.
DeleteWe know you can’t because you’re a liar. Go ahead and prove you’re not a liar.
“The only thing for certain is change.”
DeleteYeah, well, I’ve been betting that the tracks would not move for 150 years, and I’ve won that bet every year. And I’m betting on it again this year, and for the rest of my years on this planet. And I’ll win those bets too.
I’d love it if you took the other side of that bet.
Good for you old-timer. Now go enjoy some sunshine because you’re going down.
DeleteTrain girl is committed to her position and will not be dismayed by the truth that the train is not going anywhere. There is always Mother Nature to hope for. Hopes for no more trains or any less trains per day is all she has. Hopes. Committed? She might be a good candidate for being committed to an institution that could help her declining mental condition. There is help out there for you train girl.
ReplyDelete1127- wow. After about five months of discussion, he finally recognize I’m a woman.

Same old repetition, nothing new, no facts.
I live east of the 5 and can hear the train at all hours. I don't how much further east people can hear it. Maybe others will chime in and let us know. Trader Joes? Doubtful but maybe on a quiet night. The coastal fog at times can carry the train sounds further.
ReplyDelete11:55 That’s true. It’s a known fact that trains or subways produce a fraction of the carbon dioxide emissions and pollution compared to passenger vehicles. So Train Girl has some other hidden agenda.
ReplyDelete11:55- yeah I have something in it it’s called not giving children cancer. It’s a big deal.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I also hate to see tens of millions of dollars wasted on empty ghost trains. I don’t understand what could you possibly see is positive about empty polluting trains?
You obviously have not referenced any of the information provided. Tell us what positives are there in the coaster?
Why do you call people that dislike the coaster train guy or train girl?
It makes absolutely zero sense.
I know you won’t respond to any questions or print find any facts because you’re just a smokescreen.
It’s OK though hopefully you’re in a program for some productive clean job because I see the NCTD board getting away from diesel burning, highly polluting cancer causing Coaster.

Comment to Kelly -
Kelly hopefully you are aware of the cancer causing pollution from spent diesel fumes. Its really sad the Coaster service is pumping these pollutants into the developing lungs of children as they play adjacent to the polluting Coaster route tying to actually have fun and improve their health.
In my opinion, no addressing this highly polluting source is very very vey bad by our local governments…..and I am very surprised that local news channels have not pick up on this Era Brockovich issue.
Please serve the communities and specifically the children in our community.
We believe in you.
Thanks!

Train girl: Show the data that connect Coaster diesel and cancer.
ReplyDeleteTrain person is a hot mess. After being offended by being referred to as “Train Guy,” someone switched it to ‘Train Girl.” But naaas, said person is now offended by ‘Train Girl!’ But seemed to be a little less offended by ‘Trains-gender.’ I’m telling you, these wacky woke people get offended by the smallest of things. You’d think if this person was so concerned with what they’re called, that they’d post with their actual name. Must be rough going through life with so many bugs plugging up your butt.
ReplyDeleteYeah... you nailed that one Gramps. Way to go. Go have another old fashion, and cook yourself some ribs and pork rinds to celebrate. 😘
DeleteTrain Girl sounds like one of those Elitist types that grew up with a silver spoon and never had a problem in her life, so she has to make something a problem and scream from the mountain tops ad nauseam about trains.
ReplyDeleteYou’re going to wear out your vocal chords lady, well before any car exhaust, and especially train exhaust ever effects you. I’d be more concerned about your mental health issues. I suggest moving somewhere where you won’t get any exhaust from vehicles of any kind, and can finally find some peace. And remember, train emissions are way safer than car emissions. So you have to pick somewhere far away from populated areas. Alaska maybe? Or perhaps a foreign country might be more suitable for you? Russia has a lot of wide open land. Might work well w/your commie woke agenda….
You are on fire.... I bet you think Erin Brockovich was the devil. How dare her talk about the water being polluted!
DeleteCardiff mom there is no "hopefully" that Kellie will know the issue through what, osmosis? Go spoon feed it to her and report back. Don't be so lazy.
ReplyDelete2:17- City Staffers tell me all the City Council members read the blog. I also confirmed it with a few I've known over the years. why are you so grumpy? Do you work for the Diesel Industry too?
Delete2:05 You’re right about me nailing it! Thx! But you failed at your little guessing game. I’m not a Grandpa. In fact, I’m probably younger than you. And I’m not even a dude. I’ve never drank an old fashioned, or ate pork belly. But my Grandpa did, and he lived to be 100. And he was a Train Engineer. So you totally missed the mark loser.

DeleteWelcome to the Blog Pollution Loving Coaster Women!😘
2:55 You sound like an ageist. But age isn’t a concern of anyones here except yours, and I t’s apparent you’d have the same level of immaturity, no mature what age you are.
ReplyDeleteYou’re bigger issues seem to be with your sexual identity, or lack thereof.
You’re also obsessed with talking about penis’s and their sizes.
And your mental issues are confirmed with each repetitive huge Train rant. I would suggest a Psycholgist for you, but the only one most of us know is Dr. Nutbird whose license was revoked. And she’d probably screw you up worse than you already are.
So moving where there are no Trains is probably still your best option. But remember….there can’t be any cars there either, as their emissions are way worse than trains.
And if you don’t like a previous posters reccomendations of Alaska or Russia, there’s always Amish communities. They still do horse and buggies, thus no train or car emissions. They probably won’t take you though, due to your level of hostility. But it’s worth a shot. You haven’t exactly been successful here, so maybe greener pastures await you in Amishville! Best of Luck Train person!
Not sure who you’re writing too… must be the pollution, lovin, Coaster woman.
DeleteYou sure are repetitious.
4:08- what did you think of that amazing video from Dr. Seba on technology disruptions?
Delete5:18- Thats a great argument. Wow. Trains must be efficient and those 500 people taking the coaster at $40,000,000 per year really make sense. Thanks for clarifying the issue!

Fun fact: Encinitas is where it is because of the trains.
ReplyDeleteSteam trains needed to refill fresh water tanks to make the steam to drive the pistons.
One of the few reliable fresh water sources along our semi-arid coast was a well dug where the tracks cross Cottonwood Creek.
Every train had to stop, and while the tanks were filled, the passengers would get out to stretch their legs. Some savvy entrepreneur types moved there and opened shops to take advantage of the captive audience.
And yadda yadda yadda, cue montage of Pannikin, Derby House, Historic schoolhouse, and that’s how Encinitas was born.

Link to Diesel Causes Cancer:
https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/diesel_exhaust.html#:~:text=Breathing%20in%20diesel%20exhaust%20can,lead%20to%20serious%20health%20effects.
What are the main health concerns?
Short term exposure to diesel exhaust can cause coughing, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Breathing in diesel exhaust can cause lung irritation and/or an allergic reaction causing asthma (wheezing and difficult breathing), or making pre-existing asthma worse. Other symptoms may include feeling lightheaded, headache, or nausea.
Long term exposure may lead to serious health effects. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), determining that exposure to diesel exhaust emissions increases the risk for lung cancer and possibly bladder cancer.
Who is at risk of exposure to diesel exhaust?
The most common way individuals are exposed is by breathing air that contains the diesel particulate matter. The fine and ultra fine particles are respirable, which means that the particles can avoid many of the human respiratory system defense mechanisms and enter deeply into the lung.
Workers may be at risk:
In areas where diesel powered vehicles are used repaired, or tested such as forklift trucks, railway locomotive, buses, trucks, construction vehicles, farm vehicles.
Where diesel exhaust can accumulate, such as warehouses, car/bus depots, ferries/ships, garages, vehicle testing sites, fire stations, mines, or where diesel generators or winch motors are used.
In occupations that work in areas where exhaust levels are high or can accumulate, such as police and traffic officers, custom officer/border control booths, ticket/toll booth operators, drivers of diesel vehicles (buses, subway/railway,

ReplyDeleteTo the train person, he or she, who the f cares, we are all waiting for your facts about diesel fumes from our trains directly causing cancer to Encinitas residents. Speculations are not fact based, and you are intelligent to have to know that as fact.
One thing I can see is, you have been affected by something debilitating. Mentally, to be quite clear.
No worries, many will eventually suffer some cognitive degradation in our later years. There is some remediation available that can mitigate these losses. Please make use of what can be helpful to you, your family, and your community.

Next topic please…. I can tell you I never take the train. And judging from the statistics in those links and seeing the empty trains go by it looks like not many people are taking the trains. Sorry train lovers, I wish it was not so.
Anybody thinking of buying or selling a house in the next six months?
ReplyDeleteHow are the rent prices doing? Are we at affordable yet?
I’m not buying the fact that Train Guy is now claiming to be a Girl:
ReplyDeleteClue #1 If he was a guy, why wouldn’t he have come out of the closet months ago? He suddenly springs his new identity on us after mnths of being called ‘Train Guy’ that he’s not a dude, and gaslights us.
Clue #2 He acts mad when we no longer refers to him as a guy, and instead embrace his desire to be a girl.
Clue #3 He’s way to obsessed with Penis size to be a woman. I’ve never known women to care about that. It’s what guys do with it that matters.
*I only ever heard one woman talking about penis size. She was bragging to a group of women about how big her black boyfriends penis was. (totally unclassy).
So if ‘Penis Guy’ is actually a woman, she’s a very ‘Skanky’ one!
And if he/she can’t be trusted with their Trains-gender identity, how can we believe anything else he/she/it says?
who cares? Have you started your solar installation classes so you have a decent job in a year from now?

DeleteLook. You are right I am Train Girl (makes me feel young, Love it!). Trains are great where they make sense. I lived in the SF Bay area for years and loved BART. It was electric, quiet, fast, and grade-separated. It was also usually pretty empty so seating was plentiful.
If NCTD want a train and thinks they have the demand or ridership to support a train from the suburbs of North County have at it. Call it NART - North Area Rapid Transit.
What NCTD currently calls the polluting service of today is not working at all. Coaster - Diesel, Polluting, loud, congestion causing and deadly at-grade crossings, and super slow. They should change the name to NAPST - North Area Polluting Slow Transit. Much much more appropriate.
Convert that current polluting rail line to EV grade separated and we are all good.
Have a great day and I hope you can avoid the plumes of diesel and dust washing over the lungs of the people attending the farmers market today (Cough, Cough).

ReplyDeleteThere was plenty of information about how burning millions of gallons of fuel next to elementary schools causes cancer but yet you still ask for proof. Well, I will do my best but its not as simple as a Coaster train blasts by Cardiff Elementary spewing diesel fumes over the schools playgrounds and then our children all drop death from cancer. Diesel is not cyanide, but it is high carcinogenic.
Please reference the following article about the results around bays filled with diesel smoke and high rates of cancer in the surrounding committees. Unfortunately our kids are no different than their kids and will suffer the same fate when exposed to the spent diesel discharges.
Diesel truck pollution kills Mitsubishi warehouse deal at Port of San Diego
...Such pollution contributes to fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, which when inhaled exacerbates conditions such as asthma and heart disease. The tiny particles can lodge deep in a person’s lungs, even their bloodstream.
Barrio Logan already suffers from some of the worst asthma- and cancer-causing air pollution in the state.
Rafael Castellanos, chair of the commission overseeing the Port, said the situation signals a “change in culture” at the agency.
What we need is is a “change in culture” at NCTD. Please contact Kelly today. Kelly has a precious daughter who some day may consider attending a local elementary school. I would think Kelly is concerned about the air the kids are breathing as they play in the playground right adjacent to the diesel exhaust flumes going by 30 times a day.

ReplyDeleteCome on, train girl/guy, you can do it. Show us direct evidence of any local who has gotten cancer from the trains exhaust.
In the meantime, get some fresh air wherever you can and achieve some clarity for a change.
I have to repeat that I am not a fan of our mayor or when he was on NCTD and did zero for Leucadia for a decade on council.
It appears Leucadia has a couple of at-grade rail crossings in the works after another decade of ignoring the need.
My bet is this is more posturing for the future than doing what is most needed for Leucadia now and has been for the last twenty years.

DeleteIn comparison to the principal alternative, the diesel engine, electric railways offer substantially better energy efficiency, lower emissions, and lower operating costs. Electric locomotives are also usually quieter, more powerful, and more responsive and reliable than diesels. They have no local emissions, an important advantage in tunnels and urban areas. Some electric traction systems provide regenerative braking that turns the train's kinetic energy back into electricity and returns it to the supply system to be used by other trains or the general utility grid. While diesel locomotives burn petroleum products, electricity can be generated from diverse sources, including renewable energy.[1] Historically concerns of resource independence have played a role in the decision to electrify railway lines. The landlocked Swiss confederation which almost completely lacks oil or coal deposits but has plentiful hydropower electrified its network in part in reaction to supply issues during both World Wars.

Apparently Caltrain in the Bay Area has much smarter board than NCTD
DeleteElectric trains will produce substantially less corridor air pollution compared with diesel trains, helping meet the state’s emission reduction goals. Increased ridership will reduce automobile usage, resulting in additional air quality benefits.
An electrified Caltrain will increase ridership and fare revenues while decreasing fuel costs

Yep. Every several years like clockwork a truck gets stuck at Leucadia Boulevard and a train smashes into it. Sooner or later, that’s going to be a cargo train full of all kinds of toxic fuels, and the people on Vulcan are going to have railroad carts with fire balls, flaming through their homes.
DeleteCan’t wait to see the Dunce try and address that one.
Evening headlines., “ 278 people die with 10 minutes after fire balls, explode through their homes and flying railcars flatten an entire neighborhood. “
Not gonna be pretty. 😢
Trains are very safe. Using anecdotal outliers to make a point instead of comprehensive statistical evidence is what simpleton morons do.
DeleteSure, you can post a story about someone who drown to make the point that drinking a glass of water isn’t good for you. But doing that would only make you look like a simpleton moron, so why would you?
But if we’re playing that game, then I guess the lesson of Phineaus Gage’s story is that it’s perfectly safe to have a 3ft 7in, 13.5lb steel rod shot through your brain. Perfectly safe.

No they don't. There's now a direct line to the train if a truck is stuck at Leucadia. The last collision was over 30 years ago.

Completely off topic, thankfully, at the Enc. Library today, Sunday, at 2pm a wonderful longtime folksy rock group will be playing for an hour. This is the kind of diversion we can all use and appreciate. Come on down for some relief.
ReplyDeleteI started off putting the N-scale toy trains up my ass and recently moved up to the O-scale (or as I call it the Ohhhhhhhh-scale). Anyway before the last council meeting, my wife was putting the 14th freight car up my ballon knot which was a new record for me but also uncomfortable and I ended up freaking out. I started pulling the train cars out of my ass one by one as fast as possible but right as I got near the end they became unlinked. As a result I have my custom E4E caboose stuck in my ass. It's been there for days and Mali's not returning my calls.

So many more need to be held accountable for their treasonous behavior. That some of these same traitors are now serving in Congress and have been appointed to committees is sickening.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of them broke the oaths they took to defend our nation against all who attack our country. There is also the fact that anyone who does such is/should be prevented from ever running for public office.
Has anyone else noticed how deserted EV has become since the "secret" group was created?
ReplyDeleteElections are over. No votes to talk about on encinitas votes. Happens every year.
DeleteThere's little motivation for their propaganda outside of election season. Even less so since they took out Blakespear.
ReplyDeleteIf by “took out” you mean promoted the undefeated GOAT who stacked the council with reliable and strong council members who will continue her legacy for years to come, then I agree with you.

If you hear private planes flying over and over, back and forth, I'm going to start publishing these flyiing school names that are making money flying in circles over Encinitas and Solana Beach. Putting your families in danger. They make money for their flying school and you get leaded plane exhaust in the air in your lungs besides for the dangers of a plane crash. Two weeks ago Christopher Sluka "crash landed on the beach in Carlsbad".
ReplyDeleteThe next day, his company was flying in circles over Encinitas.
Just this morning, Sluka is flying back and forth over Encinitas. That company couldn't care less about safety.
Let me add, these schools at Montgomery Field are in for a huge surprise if they continue flying in circles, back and forth over and over the 10's of thousands in Encinitas and Solana Beach. Phone calls to major private plane insurers, Homeland Security for domestic terrorism, government pollution control for the state of California. Oh' we have more up our sleeves. That, is just the beginning. I know some very smart people.
DeleteYou’re going to publish the names of flight schools that are operating per FAA rules and ATC commands?
DeleteOkay.
There is NOTHING in any FAA regulations granting or allowing private planes to fly in circles/bach and forth over 10's of thousands of people, schools, homes etc.
DeleteThese schools are making money putting people as risk. You don't think I've done my homework???
Per the FAA, 1000 private plane crash every year across the U.S. Eight crashed here in San Diego County last year. These flight schools fly 17 miles to Solana Beach and Encinitas to fly in circles.
And yes...we will publish "everyone" that puts our area in jeopardy. EVERYONE. Four of us are ex-military.
If you don't think we can find intel on these planes,
THINK AGAIN
Nope.
DeleteI got my Private Pilot in high school.
Part of the training is to practice stuff like flying a ground track circle or figure 8 with a cross wind. Also, flying on pylon vs around pylon turns, which air traffic control may command you to perform to enter patterns or avoid traffic. Also practicing stall recovery, high bank constant altitude turns, and simulated engine out scenarios. That “circling” you see is normal, necessary, and safe as long as it’s not being done in Class Bravo airspace, military airspace, or below 1000 ft AGL in populated areas.
You’ll find the FAA doesn’t change these rules for you, even if you ask nicely or are a veteran.
If only you could employ some kind of a toxicity sensor to quantify the exhaust of these small planes overhead and trains spewing you would be our hero. A big if..... but come on down. You can do it. You can prove that we are all being poisoned beyond a shadow of a doubt with facts that residents are getting cancer directly from these two polluting sources in our specific community.
ReplyDeleteNow there are four train persons? It must be contagious. Who knew mental degradation could be spread on a blog? PTSD is more like it. While I thank you for your service, I ant you to know there is help available. The VA is there for you and your fellow train people.
ReplyDeleteHave at it. Publishing every anonymous poster will be quite the trick. You know where you are, right?
Sorbi aviation flying 17 miles from Montgomery Field to fly in circles/back and forth over Encinitas. I tried to be nice to them and asked them to stop flying circles. They don't care, they are unsafe and couldn't care less about the citizens of Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteThat's Sorbi aviation.
Did you ask for the manager, Karen?
DeleteIt isn't simply sorbi, it's all of them but "all names" including flight clubs will be posted when they fly in circles over our neighborhoods. We tried and tried for the last three years. No more trying, we are done being nice. We tried the polite way, that rarely gets anyone...anywhere...anymore
DeleteAnd as an added note, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar are considered un-regulated air space. That was told to me by FAA. When we got that info, the gloves came off. Now it's "ground and pound", the old fashion way. They mess with our families safety...
Good luck
A 1200 flight today over Encinitas and Solana Beach. 6 times each. at 9:30 a.m You see, the pilot uses a 1200 number to hide the tail number and NO ONE at Montgomery Field will give us the tail number. It's done quite often. This way they are hiding their unsafe flying over our families.
DeleteWhich FAA reg are you alleging has been violated?
DeleteWhat is the class of airspace concerned from the sectional chart, and what are the rules for that class of airspace?
If you can’t answer those questions clearly and in detail, then you are wasting your time.
Coast Flight Training out of Montgomery Field.
DeleteTEN times over our homes, schools and even the Sheriffs Department. Unsafe and they couldn't care less.
BTW, you’re probably looking at ADS-B data. And the 1200 you are seeing is a squawk code. Air Traffic Controllers assign codes over the radio, and the pilot enters the code into a box on the control panel. Every time the aircraft senses the sweep of a radar beam, it sends out the code. Back at ATC, the radar return and squawk codes are merged and shown on a display.
DeleteSome squawk codes are unique to a given aircraft so controllers can keep straight who they are talking to.
In this case 1200 is a generic code given to any aircraft flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), usually meaning they are not being followed and directed by air traffic controllers through a filed flight plan.
It’s not to hide a tail number. It’s just to ID the plan as a VFR doing his own thing. This is normal for a student pilot practicing with or without an instructor onboard, and logging hours.
There are often many planes squawking 1200 in the same area. So it’s not surprising that whoever you called couldn’t or wouldn’t give you a tail number.
11:05 Thank you for the others that don't understand.
DeleteBut, I do. And it's always and excuse to hide what these planes are doing over and over tens of thousands of people that DON'T live near an airport.
Seventeen miles to fly over and over Encinitas and Solana Beach, oh' it's going to stop as we will publish every day, every plane and owner or school that flies like this. We are done putting up with the BS.
You are very polite but we living under this danger zone and are no longer polite. The things we have up our sleeves if the back and forth and circling doesn't stop will expose this entire fraud of safety first.
Tic Toc
10:45...use you brain. IT'S UNSAFE TO FLY BACK AND FORTH AND IN CIRCLES over tens of thousands of people and their homes. They fly over and over schools and I just got of the phone with an airport official. They told me flying circles over schools is prohibited !!!!
ReplyDelete1000 private planes go down every year in the u.s.
We don't care if they fly out and back to reach their destination. Just this morning Yolar Corporation and Coast Flight School making money putting families at risk flying circles.
Wake up and smell the spent leaded plane fuel.
What FAA reg are you alleging has been violated? Be specific.
DeleteHere is something specific even you can understand
DeleteHomeland Security. They got called several months ago on a plane that flew 20 times in circles over heavily populated areas in Carlsbad. It's call Domestic Terrorism. Needless to say and oddly, our group never registered a complaint on that tail number again.
Now why do you think that is?...hmmmm?
You can quote all the FAA crapola you want, but trust me, you do not want those lads showing at your place.
They couldn't care less about your FAA regs.
Safety First...not safety last. 8 planes down just in San Diego last year. Where were your regs then?
You people are all the same but be advised, you fly in circles over our familes and schools. Tic Toc
Sluka flight school just this morning over Encinitas...
Eight times.
I’m reporting your threat against legal aviation to the FBI.
DeleteNot kidding.
Go ahead pinhead, see where that gets ya' So reporting schools flying in circles over populated areas is a threat???? Excuse me???
DeleteI suppose you think Homeland Security is a threat as well. Go ahead and see what happens.
You live in a bizarro world. You probably believe in man made global warming as you write exactly like the one....that does. Dream world for nut cases
I think your threats against legal aviation are deplorable. It’s not up to me what happens next.
DeleteHo Simpson. This jerk today circled Encinitas 15 times.
ReplyDeleteTail number N54502. Domestic Terrorism over schools and 10's of thousands of people. Just wait until one comes down and wipes out a bunch of kids. Remember, one went down in Carlsbad two weeks ago. Tic Toc
You should definitely keep talking.
DeleteCoast Flight Training 13 times over Solana Beach 3:02 p.m
ReplyDeleteUnsafe, uncaring and flying over schools to include thousands of people.
AVP Aviation. Nine times over Encinitas, flying 17 miles from Montgomery Field to put your children in danger.
ReplyDeleteTime was 3:50 p.m
And just to keep everyone here in the loop. I have just emailed the FAA safety department in D.C to address dangerous flying conditions over Encinitas and Solana Beach. I/WE won't stop. We got no where with the local FAA as they don't set the controlled airspace. So, it's off to the people that do.
ReplyDeleteRemember, these schools are flying in circles, back and forth over the schools and your homes making money selling classes. And, for the clown that thinks they are going to call the FBI on me, I welcome it. My background?
Safety for huge corporations, construction, public safety and writing Safety Standards for thousands of employees.
BRING IT ON !!!!!
You were already on their radar Mr. MB. Keep talking.
DeleteI'll take that as a positive. I'm not a stranger to being on
Deletethe radar, I like it...it gets things done.
Oh, it absolutely will get things done. But probably not the things you imagine.
DeleteDefinitely keep talking.
And you might want to plan some extra time next time you go through airport security.
Delete9:13...what is going on in your head? Voices?
DeleteEither get back on your meds or get a new prescription.
Do something
Christophor Sluka flight school this morning 8 times over Encinitas back and forth, tail number N8218Z. The same sluka that crash landed on a Carlsbad beach two weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteCoast Flight School, 6 times back and forth over Encinitas.
Tail number N404CA.
Christiansen Aviaton 6 times over Encinitas and 10 over Solana Beach registered in Delaware so you can't find a phone number. See the scam?
Sorbi Aviation 6 times over and over Encinitas.
Plus One Flyers tail number N737HY six times over and over.
ALL COMMING OUT OF MONTGOMERY FIELD AND NOT EVEN 10:00 AM.
They do not care about your families safety or the air as plane fuel has LEAD in it. Lead in automobile fuel hasn't been used in decades.
Plus One Flyers again, Coast Flight School again
DeleteMaking money while you get nothing but leaded fuel exhaust and safety crash concerns.
San Diego Flight Training International
ReplyDelete13 times over Encinitas today at 2:10 p.m. Then back to Montgomery Field. Think your kids are safe in school?
Good luck with that thought.
I thought you were going to do something about those planes. Where is the action on your part? Can you do anything but post you outrage here? Can you install some pollution gathering sensors that will prove your point we are being poisoned by these training flights? Direct evidence only. Anything less is worth nothing. Substantiate your claims our residents in Encinitas are being directly and negatively affected.
ReplyDeleteOhhh' you have no idea genius. Ever delt with the people in D.C? No? Get a clue, I have.
DeleteIt's the u.s government...Nuff said.
In the meantime we will continue to post unsafe flying over 10's of thousands and schools.
Either you are a senseless buffoon or, you don't live here. Is it both? I wonder.
Ah yes, the sounds of silence speak volumes.
