[starguard]

You all forget....Da Aaanold didnt want HSR. Da Governator was too busy crotch pounding his servants and paying her Hush Money with state funds to be bothered with such trivial projects

High speed rail will not only hurt the airline Industry, but it will hurt the Greyhound Bus more why? because for the same price of riding Greyhound bus, you would travel 4 time faster than Buses and have more room, people loves to travel faster for the lower cost, well Fuck Greyhound line.

you can always tell an advance society by the mode of transportation they use to travel

foot/walking [nothing wrong and the greenest healthiest most inefficient]

ox carts horse and carriage

bicycle [low carbon footprint]

richshaw

coal train

automobile [yes almost obsolete 100 year old technology time to move on]

i think the California High Speed Rail is a very good idea. it would get a lot of the traffic off the highways around LA and san fran and of course create jobs, its just the time and money that would go into it.

[flow3232]

but building this would create jobs for so many that dont have jobs.. people obviously didnt pay attention to the "new deal" in history class

[paullubliner]

Let's keep this crap to just the low grade CG Images as seen here and in the remaining brain control propoganda. If the rest of this concept and FUNDING is of equal caliber, rather than pay the insane taxe burden to build this pointless to pointless manifold route(s) I will gladly leave California, AND I WON'T BE ALONE.

[MrEiriku]

@paullubliner leave then bitch

[gofindjeff]

Never mind now. It's not going to happen since California is on the very edge of Bankruptcy. Because CA's congress didn't pass a proper budget, the states credit rating will be lowered to Junk-Bond status...i.e. NO way of ever funding this project! The "good" news is they'll STILL find a way to pay for welfare, section8 housing, food stamps, child care, college aid, pre-K to 12 schooling, breakfast-lunch programs, prison housing, etc. etc.etc. for the 16+ MILLION ILLEGAL aliens in our state.

nothing wrong with the world's #1 super power working together with other countries:)..lol.

[picarafilm56]

Do you know the train will be installed or in the USA are infact French TGV, America has asked France to help you create a high-speed train, because trains U.S. does not exceed 134km / h french trains going 300km / h, these high-speed train in the USA are controlled by the SNCF (French rail company), as otherwise even the first world power, needs other countries.

My how time 'would change'.

I remember traveling the '99' in the family wagon back in the '50's.

This, is not the typical Pacific Fruit Express train on the old SP.

[sideslide23]

in the 50s you were cruising on the Golden State highway which is the old 99.

As much as Californians want High Speed Rail...I hope it happens soon. Not JUST for California, but for America as a whole. Look at other countries that have HSR:

Japan - The size of California.

South Korea - About the same size as Minnesota.

Spain - Slightly more than twice the size of Oregon.

France - slightly less than double the size of Colorado.

Taiwan - Slightly larger than the states of Maryland & Delaware combined.

Think about it...THOUSANDS of American jobs!

COOL! O__O
