VIDEO:  Sprinter : Is Light Rail The Answer to California's Congested Freeways?
 
 
At the Center of Southern California's Coastal living is Northern San Diego County. Known for it's sunny weather, long white beaches and outdoor shopping malls and better known for is it's TRAFFIC. Unless you are traveling it's 8 lane freeways in the middle of the night you can expect to share the road with thousands of other motorists. The North San Diego County Transit District has just launched the Sprinter, a new light rail train, to help alleviate some of that gnarly freeway congestion.
