California's rolling in money - why shouldn't they be able to take on a project thats' got a lot of flash - but little substance?

High speed rail might be a project that loses money for years to come, but it'll make liberals 'feel' good about themselves. And really, isn't that all that matters? /s

As much as I like Trains...This Hi speed rail is another of Zero's BS projects...

If a private company wants to do it (a high speed rail from LA to Vegas...) Fine... but why should the TAXPAYERS do it????

California is 16 billion in the hole.

I guess it’s time you other states to pony up. :)

...the fastest rate of transportation construction known in U.S. history...

LOL, they want this when Caltrans takes 8 years to build a new overpass?

LOL! Sure, what could go wrong?

“the fastest rate of transportation construction known in U.S. history, according to industry and academic experts.”

Shows you what these clowns know.

The transcontinental railroad project laid 1,777 miles of track in just six years. And it was built by hand.

CHSR will include about 800 miles of track and it looks like it won’t be completed until as late as 2040.

Look Ma, cheap public transportation with no rails, and you can buy them by the dozens and drive them anywhere. Did I mention, no unions with bloated salaries and unreal retirement scams!
