Bakersfield to Merced now $1.8 billion pricier than previously calculated.
And that’s before any track has been installed. I’d like to see how they are going to tackle the grade up to Gilroy, that shouldn’t run into any cost over runs. Maybe they can make a giant loop like Tehachapi. High speed trains love loops.
I am sure high speed rail loves existing non high speed rail track as well... ;-)
