Firenze Sage: the low speed high speed railroad [in CA]

30 feet in the air tracks for high speed CA railroad

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is calling for formation of a coalition of Bay Area transportation agencies and cities to work with the California High-Speed Rail Authority to come up with an acceptable plan to run high-speed trains between San Jose and San Francisco, perhaps at less-than-high speeds.

But opposition surfaced when residents and cities along the tracks realized that high-speed rail plans called for adding two to four extra tracks perched, in some locations, atop 30-foot-tall structures.

And it must meet the legal requirements of Proposition 1A, which specifies that high-speed trains must be able to run between the Transbay Terminal and Los Angeles Union Station in less than 2 hours, 40 minutes.

350 miles SF to LA. 100,000 environmental lawsuits. Projected upwards of a 30 billion cost. Treble that for realism. Fare? Oh, who cares, none of these things pay for themselves.
