"Ambitious plans for a fast track linking Los Angeles and San Francisco at
speeds of up to 220mph in just over two-and-a-half hours were slimly
approved by 53 per cent in a statewide ballot in 2008. That allowed the
state to raise $10 billion from bonds and secured an injection of $3.5
billion in stimulus money from the Obama
administration. There is currently no direct train route between the two.
"... The project is still $54.9 billion short of what is needed, raising fears that
the state will be unable to find the funds to finish later sections, and
could be left with a futuristic rail line linking minor cities and farming
communities."
