Project costs for this one, 119 mile stretch of track through the relatively empty Central Valley have topped $69 billionThat is $580 million per mile. $110K per foot. You have done well, Darth Moonbeam.
Especially since the Swiss are about to complete the longest (39.7 miles) deepest (7,900 feet) railroad tunnel in the world at a total cost of $16 billion. Just astonishing levels of waste in commiefornia.
