Well said. The cone of silence around this project is appropriate for special ops, not for a transit project.
Although understanding in full detail what is going on requires a high level of interest, I think many people in town would like to have some information about what is going on. Imagine if they just tweeted stuff like this:
“Today we are testing the Cameron crossover after the repairs to the signalling system completed yesterday”
“No testing south of Mill today because crews are replacing the control units in the crossing control at Hayward”
“501 is still not in service due to work to replace the wiring harness”
(just examples made up, in case anybody thinks I have an inside track!)
