Also notice that no private company or corporation or investors are putting their money into such ventures as high speed rail.

And for us Americans who have no experience or know how in high speed rail operation it is and will be a disaster with billions of dollars of public funding wasted on something that will or might never turn out with rosy results. Folks have high expectations and lofty goals for high speed rail and assume that that it is the solution for getting people back to riding the trains and a resurgence in passenger rail travel not necessarly so ! The investment and expense in such systems are extremely high and must make a profit for it to be sucessful. Our European and Asian ccounterparts who are true rail and transportation professionals and experienced high speed rail builders and operators must be laughing at us and our feeble attempts to build hi speed rail systems which already are costing billions in terms of studies being made that go no where and countless changes in designs with no rsults and we haven’t even gotten to what type or design of the trains themselves are going to be used and operate on this “mythical” line.

Us model railroaders do a far better job of planning and designing our layouts and a track plan to fit in our garages or spare rooms to operate our model trains in than these geniuses trying to design and build a high speed rail line in one of the most car centric and car friendly areas of the nation. How many changes and design makeovers have been made with no results or timetable when we might actually see a train run which is years down the track.

Previously, the project had proposed stations in both Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs and Fullerton, but its presentation on the potential changes indicates uncertain support for the stations in both cities, design and parking constraints in both locations, and cost savings as well as reduced scheduling impacts.Ī full presentation on the changes is available here.Ĭlueless people running this outfit and wasting millions of dollars on a plan that won’t work or bring the desired results that it is intended to do. The Authority also announced it will consider having one or no intermediate stops between Los Angeles and Anaheim. Either facility would cover 40 or more acres, include six shop tracks, and be able to handle at least 20 trainsets. The plan also calls for a new light maintenance facility for the high speed rail equipment at one of two sites - adjacent to Amtrak’s 8th Street Yard, or next to BNSF’s Hobard Yard. It might also require a reduction in high-speed rail operations, from four trains per hour to two in each direction. While earlier plans called for some tracks to be passenger only, the new plan would allow BNSF freight traffic to move on any of the four tracks. The new plan would see a four-line route - one more than was originally planned - with two electrified tracks.

Colton residents objected to gaining increased emissions and road traffic while not seeing any benefits from the high-speed project, High-Speed Rail Authority spokesman Jim Patrick told the TV station, leading to the revision. KTLA-TV reports the revision reflects opposition to an earlier plan which would have seen a new freight facility built in Colton that facility was designed to move freight trains off the route that would be shared with high-speed rail, Metrolink, and Amtrak trains. LOS ANGELES - The California High-Speed Rail Authority is proposing changes for the Los Angeles-Anaheim portion of its route, introducing a plan that would build a fourth track in that segment to help handle freight traffic. The California High-Speed Rail Authority is considering changes to its planned Los Angeles-Anaheim route, including the elimination of one or both intermediate stations.
