High speed rail only works in areas with high population density with cities close together. Unlike the California High Speed Rail, this project actually makes some sense. There is a lot of traffic between LA and Vegas and no real terrain obstacles. The only other place in the USA that it works is the BosWash corridor on the east coast.
LMAO, they'll probably wait longer for that train than they've been waiting for a SB win.
There are casinos within an hour of downtown LA
No terrain obstacles other than the earthquake faults and the narrow Cajon Pass.
They've spent a lot of money without a lot to show for it.
Wow. This sounds like a bad, VERY bad, idea.
If they cannot even ferret out the corruption and the black hole that sucked all that money and waste away, that sank that project for a high speed rail from LA to the Bay area, folks should be wise, that this is a project, is just to steal the fat of the land, and not to actually accomplish the objectives put forth.
No one should trust governments and corporations, till there is some accountability in this nation, which, clearly there isn't anymore.
Both Joe Biden, Trump, and the Clinton's should all be put in a jail cell together at this point. Then local officials and governors would know that the justice system will hold them accountable for corruption. Maybe?
I don't believe this is anything other than a project to rob the public at this point.
Seriously dude. In this nation, we have a hard enough time, just keeping the trains, on the track, and getting them from point A, to point B, w/o a bunch of folks getting killed, or toxic pollutants destroying the environment.
I will believe it when I see it.
Like trains a lot, why cant we have a few killer cool trains, like Europe & else were. Flying has become a nightmare. Yes on trains.
This makes a lot more sense than Bakersfield to San Francisco with stops every 15 minutes.
Yeah, the first section--Bakersfield to Merced is supposed to take 3 hours plus. I don't see the draw. It is easy to drive that section in that time or less on CA99.
In the forties Southern Pacifico’s Coast Daylight express made the run from LA to SF faster than the “high speed” rail is now going to do it. It made the run from downtown LA to Downtown SF in twelve hours using steam engines between 1922 and 1957.
As an "express" train, there are few to no intermediate stops.
That is what Elon Musk tried to tell the idiots in Sacramento.
Being Democrats, no one wonders why they did not listen.
They would probably bus them up cajon pass--same as they do for the grapevine between LA and Bakersfield.
Do you think the Vegas casinos are stuffing money in to the pockets of those in Congress?
