It’s Monday, September 23rd. I’m Lucas Dixon and here’s your local news from the Modesto Bee. Station planning is under way for an extension of the Altamont Corridor Express train to Modesto and Ceres. The old depot is now part of the Modesto Transportation Center in downtown Modesto. It will get a $5 million makeover in advance of service starting as early as 2021. The rehab will include removing some of the interior walls to create a more open feeling in the waiting room.
