Wouldn’t have needed to straighten out the track for $415 million if they hired people who could stand a proper watch

“Wouldn’t have needed to straighten out the track for $415 million if they hired people who could stand a proper watch”

If they don’t get the higher speed rail line, then the whole project of moving the route in the first place makes no sense.

As it is, it is only 10 minutes faster than the old scenic route. Even if they straighten that curve, it might be 15 minutes faster.

A lot of money and effort to lose the scenery and gain a few minutes.
