California High Speed Rail
California High Speed Rail: An Overview
California High Speed Rail: An Overview On November 4th, 2008 California voters approved something completely new to the state of California. A high speed rail system which will connect north and south of the state, From San Francisco to San Diego, on a 800 miles long stretch of rail tracks which will be completed by 2030. State of California is a place which has very few or limited ways of public transport. It never had anything like this which connects almost every important city including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Palmdale, Los Angeles, Irvine, and San Diego. Most importantly this track covers 7 important airports up North and down South. It is expected that the train will run at a maximum of 220 mph and will be able to come to Los Angeles from San Francisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes. That is something what California need, rather than cursing in traffic on I-5 which moves at 40mph on rush hour. California already have railway by likes of AmTrak and MetroLink. But these are not really linked or works throughout the state efficiently. It will take at least half a day to Sacramento via a train. The new proposed High speed railway is supposed to eliminate all these problems at a low cost green theme, and hoping to increase links between the cities. The system would be fully electric and will be powered by solar and wind power built along with the Railway system. . The rails would be 800 miles long when finished, while they will be built in separate portions from 2012 to 2030.
The main phase contains the link between San Francisco to Los Angeles expected to be built by 2020. The rest of the 300 miles would be completed by 2030 for the complete proposed system. This 21st century state of the art new system got its initial funding of $9.95 billion initial funding from Prop.1A. It’s estimated that total cost would be around US $45 billion although many suspect that it would get closer
