re: #64 lobo91

If it has “many stops along the way,” then there’s probably not much point in building a train that can go 300 mph for it.

Here’s California’s pitch:

“Secondly, Anaheim, Las Vegas and everything between on the proposed train route is not some playground for the SoCal and Sin City heathens—these are working cities with real people who need jobs and transit options. Speaking from a regional commuter train perspective, a trip from Anaheim or Palmdale to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles would be minutes compared to the hours it currently takes on the freeways today.”
