I am SHOCKED! Absolutely STUNNED! California HSR in jeopardy? NO! IMPOSSIBLE! I refuse to believe it.

Listen, I am damned sorry to see it. Everything is against sensible transportation in America, including the people who are its supposed backers.

Whatever happened to the Texas High Speed Rail Authority and the Texas T-Bone? They met in Little Rock a couple of years ago. Plenty of video from Dean International and the Authority. Do a search.

As I said before, the only people who are getting any benefit out of American high speed rail are the consultants to projects that will never be built. Not one mile of true HSR will ever be constructed in the United States.
