Comment: Whittier has gone back to the sleepy little town status for a few days, and it's not the end of the world. Used to be that the only way in or out was on the train. Load up your car and go. This too shall pass. Sometime down the line, if the State ever can afford it, lining the full length would be a good idea. Then again, they would have a tougher time turning it into two lanes.
