LA's Multi-million Dollar Trash Train to Nowhere The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County have spent a decade and $430 million to build a railway system that would carry the county's trash to a landfill out in the desert. But the whole thing is lying fallow because the train costs too much to use.

Investigative reporter Morgan Cook is covering the trash misadventure for the Orange County Register .
