California High-Speed Trains

In November, Californians will be able to vote on a 220-m.p.h. bullet train, which would zip from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2.5 hours. If Californians approve the $10 billion bond proposal – enough to provide initial financing for the $42 billion system that could link north and south through the agricultural Central Valley –they will likely see the zooming trains in about a decade.
