[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] Borden to Bakersfield? It is very hard to get a good estimate of the California HSR costs. I have heard as low as 45 million per mile to as high as 200 million per mile. The distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is roughly 432 miles. Some believe the true cost could be around $ 96 billion. I have to think that, if we could vote for Prop 1A, again, the Calif. HSR project would be defeated. We sort of have a "train to nowhere" up our way. The SMART train is, at last initially, only going from the Marin County Civic Center (and not downtown San Rafael) to Santa Rosa, by 2014. It was supposed to run from Larkspur (just north of the Golden Gate) to Cloverdale, in Northern Sonoma County. In the old days, the Northwestern Pacific RR ran from the Bay Area all the way to Eureka. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
