California Trains to Go High-Speed?
Come this November, that may be longer be the case; California voters will decide whether a high-speed connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco merits passing a $10 billion bond measure.

Projected speeds are up to 220mph, with a downtown SF to downtown LA travel time of less than 2½ hours. The California High-Speed Rail Authority also hopes to extend lines to San Diego, Sacramento, and the Central Valley.
