8/13/07 Removed On Track (Syracuse) from the list. It never was a commuter rail provider anyhow... and now it appears to be DOA.

List has been updated to include WES in Oregon as an active commuter rail operator. Upped the count of US commuter rail operators to 21. 22nd won't be far behind, as Austin is next.

Just bumping this topic to make updates visible.

We are now up to 22 active commuter rail properties in the USA with the November 16, 2009 opening of Metro Transit's Northstar.

Meanwhile, Austin's MetroRail hasn't happened yet, but the larger project in the area, the regional line from Austin to San Antonio is gaining momentum. This update includes the name change from ASA to LSTAR.

And in a case of very wishful thinking, I added Orlando's SunRail to the "coming soon" section.

Does this include DMU's or whatever they are like the North San Diego Sprinter?
