This is Episode 4.02, which continues our exploration of Route 8, better known as Interstate 8. In this episode, we focus on the portion of I-8 from La Mesa (just outside of San Diego) to the Arizona border. We look at not only current I-8, but the routing of the predecessor route, US 80. We discuss the communities of La Mesa and El Cajon, Alpine and Descanso, Boulevard, the Mountain Springs Grade, Jacumba, Ocatillo (with a digression on the Imperial Highway), El Centro, Holtville and the Algondenes Dunes (with a digression on the Plank Road), Winterhaven and Yuma. We also briefly talk about the interesting routing of US 80 within Arizona, and how it differs from I-8. We talk about historical routings, projects along the route, and some significant names. In the next episode, we’ll turn our attention to Route 9, which currently runs from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos, but which once ran all the way to Castro Valley.

Halloween has come and gone, and so have my 4 bags of candy (and my diet for October). But, as always, Highway Headlines remain. Here are your headlines about highways in California for the month of October. Ready, set, discuss.

As promised, October brings a new season of CA Route by Route. Ep 4.01 covers all things Route 8: The 8th State Route (now Route 194); LRN 8 (now Routes 37, 121, 12); Sign Route 8 (now Route 26); and I-8 and related routes (Route 209, Route 109, and US 80) in San Diego. Ep 4.02 will cover I-8/US 80 from San Diego to Arizona. The sound quality should also be a lot better, thanks to Zencastr. Let us know what you think.

I must say I admire the hyperbole in the article: "US Travel Is Set to Surge with All New Hydrogen Passenger Train Launching on California’s Arrow Line". The train line is 14 km long, the train-sets made by a Swiss company and the "surge" is that another local line wants to use the same train-sets. Generally, you would use an electrical multiple-unit close to a city, but this is the US…

A new year's gift for you: Our last bonus episode of Season 3 -- An interview with Claire Kennedy, the Archivist for the Los Angeles County Metro Transportation Authority Library and Archive at Metro Los Angeles. This is a wonderful resource for those interested in Los Angeles' Transportation History -- Rail, Bus, and Road -- going back to the 1800s.

“At Gleason Beach, moving Highway 1 is already helping wildlife”

'one of the first times the state and #Caltrans proactively relocated a road segment before failure, a move meant to “decrease the need for emergency permits” and ad‑hoc shoreline hardening later”’

Excellent outcome for the ecology already
