	Altamont area - eLivermore.com
		Altamont is located in the Altamont hills east of Livermore, on what is now Altamont Pass Road, but was Highway 50.
		Altamont was established in 1868 when the SP railroad line was put in.
		Altamont had a railroad turntable to turn around helper steam engines, which were used to get the trains up the hill from Livermore.

		Altamont Commuter Express officials are studying a major expansion, including new lines within the Central Valley and between it and Contra Costa County, but we're not going to add them to the map just yet, as this article doesn't make their alignments quite clear.
		A Caltrain spur could be constructed over a rebuilt rail trestle alongside the Dumbarton Bridge to connect to BART and the Altamont Commuter Express (the Stockton-San Jose commuter line) in the East Bay.
		BART might build a diesel multiple unit (think of it as "light" commuter rail) line from its terminus in the east end of Contra Costa County to the new suburbs on the Central Valley's western edge, although its first phase would extend only as far as Antioch.

	Altamont Commuter Express
		On October 19, 1998, a new era dawned in passenger rail service with the inaugural run of the Altamont Commuter Express — or ACE — between Stockton and San Jose.
		The route traverses 85 miles and is highlighted by a spectacular ride through the Altamont Pass, which three decades ago was the territory of Western Pacific's California Zephyr.
		The train had a fair number of passengers, but it was not overcrowded as some had feared.

	Caltrain and Altamont Commuter Express
		Changing commuting patterns impacted Southern Pacific along with private carriers all over the country, and after protracted struggles with the state Public Utilities Commission over fares and service levels, SP petitioned to abandon passenger service in 1977.
		The three Peninsula counties served by the Peninsula Commute Service--San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara--stepped into the breach with a partial subsidy of commuter tickets, that helped reverse a long pattern of declining ridership and set the stage for state sponsorship of the Peninsula Commute in 1980.
		The line passes through scenic Niles Canyon and over Altamont Pass along a storied route made famous by the Western Pacific's fabulous California Zephyr, one of the finest cruise trains in the world, which unfortunately was discontinued in March 1970.

		The Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) rail service began three years ago as a partnership between three Northern California Counties that shared the consequences of the crippling highway congestion generated by the robust economies of the Silicon Valley and the Tri-Valley of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.
		While travel demand forecasts had warned that single-occupant commuters would not trade their automobiles for trains, major employers became a leading advocate for implementing ACE as a more reliable means of getting to work.
		In conclusion, on behalf of the ACE Authority and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, I want to express my appreciation to the subcommittee and staff for allowing time to discuss the ACE project in a national forum.
