A mention of the Diablo Range in the Tri-Valley is likely to draw the response: What range? Do you mean Mount Diablo?
Mount Diablo is the northern peak of the Diablo Range, which begins at the Carquinez Strait, runs south to include the Altamont Pass near Livermore and Mount Hamilton east of San Jose, and continues through 12 counties for a total of 150 miles to the Antelope Valley. Its highest peak, San Benito Mountain, reaches 5,267 feet.
These vast mountains, hills and valleys are often not recognized as the Diablo Range even as residents traverse them via the Altamont Pass and Pacheco Pass en route to Interstate 5, where the range serves as the backdrop in the West for motorists to Southern California.

A Brightline train pulls into a south Florida station. The private company is planning a high-speed rail project to connect Las Vegas with Los Angeles. About 250 miles is the sweet spot for high-speed rail trips; at least, that’s how experts working in the space see it.
Distances that are “too short to fly, and too far to drive,” is the way Ben Porritt, senior vice president of corporate affairs with Brightline Trains, described the business case for high-speed rail projects during the CoMotion MIAMI conference in June.
