well, at least they gave up the hyperloop scam! and the article makes a point to emphasize an "all-electric" construction. As if you could build a high speed network with Diesel. :D And.. Siemens? Who built the German system that has breakdowns every week? Because they can't, or won't, contract the Chinese, who really know how to build this? But that's no surprise. But given that this is the US, it would be a surprise to actually see it finished, instead of being a grave for government funds thrown to corporations who don't deliver on the promise in 10 years. Anyone want to take a bet if, in five years, there's a train there? I take "no".
