The Southern Pacific engineers in 1874 knew what they were doing when they constructed the Tehachapi Loop. These guys must be listening to Willie Green.

A maglev monorail following highways would be too logical. No land deals, rights of way.. Corrupt politicians would never go for it.

The project is no where near $68 billion. It was estimated years ago to cost north of $100 billion. Example of why this is being built and the water crisis in the central valley.
