	Amtrak San Joaquins
		The San Joaquin Trains always seemed like the odd-man-out to me. The southern end of the line seems to end in the middle of nowhere in Bakersfield.
		My guess is that it would take the San Joaquin train 4 to 6 hours to cover that route and no cities of significant size would be served in between.
		I think the only reason that two of the San Joaquins actually make it all the way to the Oakland station is because they have to go through the station to park in the yard for the night anyway.
