Lol I can see most American people don't travel as much as they should! But then again they think they are so smart and it's very obvious they don't know shit. I live in California and I totally will love to see one of those trains in here, but I don't think the state is ready for it. For those who likes to see a train like that go to Europe there are many over there lol!!!
Government agencies are very good at producing "pretty" videos and powerpoint presentations but are not so good as putting in new and large infrastructure projects. This will never be built.
This is so cool it means i could get to Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego & Sacramento in another way but don't have to spend so much money on airlines tickets any more.
I don't understand why they don't think about Redding. It is a bustling city and will reach 500K soon-they would like to have high-speed trains too....
@excelsior27 I think they should make it go to Redding too i agree with you it will be nice but where i live will have high speed train coming soon so yep.
@Rickyrab California won't get it's fiscal act together - it will go bankrupt. California has a worse balance sheet than Greece did before it collapsed.
@fuzzywzhe blah blah, your a living example of why the monetary system needs to be left behind. We need these trains. Somebody has to do it. Might as well be right now.
@stellar876 "your a living example of why the monetary system needs to be left behind."
It will be left behind, simply because the nation itself is bankrupt, and the nation controls the world's reserve currency. What do you expect to happen with a 14 trillion dollar debt + 50 trillion dollars in future unfunded obligations? Seriously.
"We need these trains."
If we needed these trains, they would have been built already.
lol sure. u still got trolleys going up n down hill in mideivil usa, in 2010 while theres maglev trains in japan and china, and TGVs in europe for over 30 years
just accept it already. ur fat behind on europe and even farther behind on the fat east.
you suck creationist- war over oil- war crime-fat-broke-uneducated suckish country =) im 17 and ill probably be great grandad before anything like THIS happens in ur shithole of a counry^^
@SatoTM3 Yup, you're so educated than Americans, that you spell "far" as "fat," use text language while typing, and don't use proper punctuation. You think that the opinions of our poor, corrupt government represent the exact opinions of the people (which they don't). Fail.
i dont know but in california i dont think ist a good idea theres too much sismic activity,,,, it would be good investment in the rest of the US but not cali...
Construction may start as soon as 2011, next year xD, which is the backbone of the project. From Los Angeles to San Fransisco. It's planned to start running by 2016 or 2018.. I'll be 26 or 28 years old -.-" ugh
Looks promising. So the US is finally following the rest of the world, it is about time. The trains look like JR Shinkansen series in NS (Dutch Railways) Intercity livery.
@gibb1991 how about Desert Lightning, they use the Same rail Tech accept Desert lightning doesn't only go from Vegas to Middle of L.A. it goes to Phoenix arizona so people can beat the heat.
@sideslide23 Yes, but theirs is still in the planning phases. Desert Lightning isn't even expected to begin Environmental Impact studies for several years.
@CJTeam who knows maybe there can be a chance bc things can happen fast maybe in 2015 or 2018 it can be almost ready its so cool the train be going up to speed at 220 mph!!
@CJTeam FIRST COMPLETION PLANS WERE FOR 2019.....NOW THEY ARE STILL HOPING FOR THAT DATE, BUT TODAY IT CAME OUT ON YAHOO THAT THE FINAL PHASE MAY NOT BE DONE UNTIL 2033......THAT STINKS BECAUSE MY SISTER WENT TO SPAIN THIS YEAR, AND THE BULLET TRAINS THERE KICK BUTT.....SHE LOVED IT......Sierra Cuban, Miami, Florida
I heard they will start on September 2012 :) They even have a website.
