- the first sin was probably just not mapping it to the I-5 through the central valley but everybody gotta wet their beaks -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Dec 8, 11:06 3
  - That project is a whole different thing and I've no idea what it will take to get a North-South high speed train -- nm - JD Dec 8, 11:09 2
    - about a trillion dollars and 50 years at this point -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 8, 11:11 1
      - Heh. I should put that in my last instructions. Save part of my ashes and somebody take what's left of me on the high speed LA-SF train -- nm - JD Dec 8, 11:14
unless you Robert Moses the costs of acquiring rights of way for straight line routes it's not economically viable in any state -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 8, 10:57 4
- It’s just the only one that’s tried. It wasn’t a slam on CA. - spamlet Dec 8, 11:22

  - The far easier approach of alongside the I-15 is the plan for Brightline West for the IE to Vegas train -- nm - JD Dec 8, 11:04
- we need flying trains -- nm - decline Dec 8, 10:59
