  1. The [lucidstew](https://youtube.com/@lucidstew) youtube channel has a great 3 part overview of the current construction efforts where he goes on a roadtrip along the entire route and gives us dash cam video of all the construction and future construction happening.

    Some of us are colorblind. But I went to the comments cause I know none of it is complete.

  3. Bring it up North and hit Portland Seattle and Vancouver. Time for the west coast to stake out our own path.

  4. The SCMaglev in Japan might go into service before California can even finish the environment reviews.

    It took my city, Spokane, almost four full years and $18,519,557 to replace a 333-foot bridge.

    Four full years.

  6. Very excited for this – looking forward to the wailing and nashing of teeth from the oil bros.

    I was in my 30’s when construction started and I do not expect to be able to travel San Jose – Los Angeles by HSR in my lifetime.

    The funny-sad part is this could be finished much quicker if the state did two fucking things:

    1. Give CAHSR the money it fucking needs
    2. Form its own construction company to build it (or hire one single company that already does railways, such as Amtrak or Deutsche Bahn, the latter of which is actually the company contracted to run it once it opens) because hiring four separate contractors to build like 150 miles of track is absurd, and all because Caltrans is too obsessed with roads and highways to do it themselves
