The Central Valley Training Center opened in 2020 to offer a pathway to a trade for regional residents to learn and one day work for the high-speed rail. Today, 223 students have graduated from ...
The Chowchilla Wye, or Central Valley Wye, is a planned high-speed rail flying wye junction to be located south of Chowchilla in the Central Valley of California. California High-Speed Rail trains will use the structure to switch between the three branches of the Phase I system: westward towards the San Francisco Peninsula, southward towards ...
Late last month, DOGE shared California’s high speed rail project as a project of concern, noting the project’s original $33 billion cost and 2020 completion date, receipt of $6.8 billion in ...
The 171-mile stretch of rail running between Merced and Bakersfield could be operational as early as 2030, with testing of the bullet trains slated to begin in 2028, according to the High-Speed ...
[4] [5] [6] A 2004 study revisited passenger rail plans. [7] California High-Speed Rail offered $600,000 in funding for a station planning grant including the Cross Valley Corridor, providing that the City of Hanford (which is in Kings County) and Tulare County each provided $100,000 in matching funds. Hanford and Kings County have strongly ...
As with other large infrastructure projects contingent on federal funding, California high-speed rail has been delayed by cronyism, political horse trading, and regulatory inefficiencies (parts of ...
