California, takes a bullet train to the head...

[EagleUSA]

Makes Boston’s Big Dig seem like childs’ play. Another Democrat insane boondoggle.

Taxifornia does NOT need this train to nowhere. Taxifornia does NOT have the money. But no business sanity applies...not with the insane government the state has. Just a BIG PAYBACK to unions. Unfunded make-work.

[G Larry]

Does it include a line about impeaching Moonbeam?

[cgbg]

They should carve Gov. Brown’s face on the abandoned ruins.

[Sergio]

You need to copyright that.

I recently drove down Highway 99 and saw the overhanging trestles, tracks and platforms. Keep in mind this is a place where you can drive 75mph and go directly to your destination, not end up in a train station. I think the unfinished construction will remain there for years. Too expensive to demolish.

I bet it will look even better once the scrappers start to pull every bit of metal and copper they can get off it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

What will the remnants of California’s high-speed rail project look like when they are overgorwn with shrubs and trees, providing habitat for birds or the occasional coyote?

And Willie Green in a pup tent.

There is visible reinforced concrete construction next to freeway 99 just north of fresno. it consists of disconnected oversized bridges and raised railroad beds. the design seems similar to that of taiwan’s high speed rail.

They could throw Moonbeam in front of it ,oh wait it’ll never be built

[j.havenfarm]

Remember, the idiot voters here voted for this boondoggle. Choo - choos are so cool! And green! That this was not feasible for the numbers being talked about at the time was evident to anyone with half a brain.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, they lied from the get-go what the cost was going to be.

I voted against it, but every bond put on the ballot passes (it seems).

Oh, a new bond? Wow something else we never have to pay for...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"rail project that was going to bring California’s infrastructure into the 21st century"

translation:

… tagged with Mexican gang graffiti, garbage, slashed seats, and awash with robbery, and sexual assaults, all at speeds that will make your head swim.

There is nothing that makes a robbery or sexual assault more palatable than being violated while zooming through the fertile Central Valley and beholding Nature's bounty in all its pastoral glory.

 

[Fraxinus]

Here’s one question to consider. Let’s just say that they manage to kill off the rail project. Several large sections of it, including raised platforms and trestles, have already been built. What happens to all of that construction?

Depends on if any Rail Road thinks the right of way and completed track would be a usefull addition to their system. If they think it would be usefull, the tracks would be completed, and fast freights would be the users.

[Right Wing Assault]

The question is, "Are there enough sane people in CA?"

[gathersnomoss]

Word pictures....

[bert]

Referendums qin California are worthless.

A judge will be paid chickenfeed and will declare the referendum somehow invalid.

It’s Califirnia where like Chicago, tere is no law preventing theft of public money

[gathersnomoss]

Does the bullet train exceed the speed of poop stench?
