It’s dumb stuff like this why CA has a bad reputation for infrastructure. An extra $1B to route passenger trains around a spot that already has freight trains rumbling by?

It reminds me of the tragicomedy that was BART routing. BART trains in Oakland slow down to 20mph to go around a tight curve that was designed simply to save a hardware store. Billions of rides delayed for a single building that doesn’t exist anymore 🙄

CA says goodbye to pursuing federal help on high speed rail

“This action reflects the State’s assessment that the federal government is not a reliable, constructive, or trustworthy partner in advancing high-speed rail in California”

Complete BS objection to #cahsr
This town is already bisected with only 2 road crossings in all of downtown. If anything the required HSR grade separations will improve this town

Rail materials for the California High Speed Rail will be procured very soon according to this announcement. In a year or two we'll see track start to get installed, at this pace.

California state government is stepping up to the plate - shouldering the full cost of the electric rail system materials. I think this is a good move to keep out the feds that like to meddle in this project (you know who).

Meanwhile the US slashes rail investment including pulling all federal support for California HSR 🤷‍♂️

construction on #cahsr is in fact happening

The outcome of this “investigation” is predetermined. #trump is determined to stick it to #california as part of his grievance and revenge tour. Sadly one of the biggest and most important infrastructure projects in the nation’s history will suffer.

New name for California #HighSpeedRail : Baja.

Total federal funding for California High Speed Rail to date is about $4B, or the price of 2 B-21 stealth bombers

So when you’re stuck on Hwy99 or I-5 driving between LA and SF just think about that amazing Rose Bowl flyover we got instead
