it's worth noting that coast starlight's once-a-day-each-way schedule sort of makes it limited as a commuter rail option.

Its too long and slow to be commuter rail anyways. The Bay Area -> LA segment takes about 12 hours (of a total 35ish), if its on time (its often multiple hours late). Even if it was never late and left every hour, it wouldnt be a very practical commute.

It is fun if you enjoy trains though! Take it if you have the time.

+1. I took it once, and it was a wonderful time. Jump for the business class seats, they aren't much more expensive and are quite nice.

But yes - absolutely terrible from a commuter perspective.
