I would like it if they could at least start by double-tracking the rail south of Salem! I believe a lot of the Oregon line is single-tracked. Just terrible considering how many freight trains they have running.

Recently I ran across a website an engineer did an analysis of how to extend passenger rail service south from Eugene to Ashland, Medford, and to San Fran. The tracks need upgrading, but it wouldn't be all that expensive.
