[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE][*]With a brashness and ambition that evoke a California of a generation ago, state leaders — starting with Gov. Jerry Brown — have rallied around a plan to build a 520-mile high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco[/QUOTE]With a start like this, it is obvious they have no intention of letting facts get in the way of a good story. At the least, they should visit [URL=http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/trip_planner.aspx]www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/trip_planner.aspx[/URL] and get their distances right. The SF to LA distance is 432 miles, not 520. I do not know where that number came from. It is not the ultimate build-out. If it were the number would be larger. It is not the SF to LA plus the Sacramento line, that sums to less than 520 miles. If they can't get the most basic facts right, why bother to read the resst of it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
