@cammangels: DesertXpress, a private company (no tax dollars! :D) will begin construction of their 150 mph line from Victorville to Las Vegas next year. The line will begin operations in 2014. Yes, Victorville is a strange place to start, but it is accessable by Metrolink.

Yeah at least when metrolink has an accident only the people in the front car get killed.

I would personally much prefer DesertXpress over Maglev. Sure Maglev's faster, but it will be constructed on tax dollars and take longer to pay off. While DesertXpress is a private company that is operating on it's own terms. No tax dollars. :)

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!

Cammangels, that's "a Brilliant Question"!
Answer: It should have happened 25 years ago...
The 1 Hour PBS TV Program "NOVA", highlighted that VERY plan to bring Bullet Trains to California:
"Tracking The Supertrains
While America's passenger-train service deteriorates, trains in Japan and Europe are speeding ahead at over 150 miles per hour. NOVA reports that the super-fast trains are finally coming to America.
