What’s the point of the high speed rail if it goes through all the small towns. Wasn’t it supposed to replace air travel so the lefty’s would feel better about CO2.
“...desired political objectives....”
Did you think the train was for hauling people around?
About a year ago I read somewhere that the Corporations control by Sen Diane Fineswine’s husband are buying up land that “the train to nowhere”’s right of way will cross. The idea being to sell the land at a high price to the train’s operators or whatever. This has been done before by them for solar energy sites, etc.
Several years ago I took my grandson to California for vacation and decided to take the train from San Diego to Los Angeles very early on a Monday morning. We always flew everywhere we went and he had never ridden a train before. We thoroughly enjoyed the slow, scenic early morning ride. There was only one other passenger riding in the entire business section. Seemed like such a waste of resources.
