An Ode to Our Friend, the Light Rail

A love letter from across the tracks.

Dear Light Rail,

We built Mind Garden so people could slow down, take a breath, and find a little quiet. You’ve been across the street reminding us that quiet has its own schedule.

You bring people to Historic Folsom, sometimes right to our door. And every so often, you bring a whole yoga class back to the present moment all at once.

We’re glad you’re our neighbor. See you at the next crossing.

With affection,
Leo and Sabine

Hear our friend

Take a breath. The train has other plans.

A little history from across the tracks

On October 15, 2005, Sacramento Regional Transit extended light rail from Sunrise to Historic Folsom. SacRT marked the extension’s 20th anniversary with photos from opening day.
