SACRAMENTO LIGHT RAIL
Two Lines Serving California's Capital
Sacramento's light rail system consists of two lines.  The Blue Line runs through downtown and out on two long prongs, to the northeast, Watt/I-80, and to the southeast, last stop at Meadowview.  The Gold Line goes from a downtown terminal next to the Amtrak station, then joins the Blue Line for six common stations in and near center city, and then out the Folsom Corridor to Historic Folsom.  The system has reached a length of over 37 miles, with further expansion planned.

In this view a train is turning south from the transit mall along K St. onto 7th St., in front of what was then called Downtown Plaza, a major shopping center.  Beyond that the tourist district of Old Sacramento beckons, with one of the country's most notable railroad museums nearby.
