@@maly2ts408pergola, and yes they are. The high speed tracks cross the existing freight tracks at an angle, and to maintain the broad curves needed for high speeds, well over 200 mph, it needs the support structure that doesn’t encroach on the freight rail right of way. The freight railroad also requested more space between their tracks and the structure, so in case of a derailment it won’t hit the structure.

It’s the being stuck in traffic that sucks, or long hours on a monotonous Interstate, only able to move around when you stop and get out, not to mention how expensive gas can be or the wear and tear on your car, and then having to find parking once you reach your destination. High speed rail will provide a faster alternative to driving for journeys over 100 miles, as well as faster than air travel for up to 500 miles, and one that’s also more comfortable in addition to more convenient and frequent than flying, for around the same price as airfare or a tank of gas + parking. It’s providing another option for travel across the state and between its major regions, not taking any away, just as it is all around the world. Those who currently have to drive or fly will likely opt for HSR, meaning less traffic and less crowded airports for those who’ll choose to keep driving and flying.
At a community meeting in Corcoran last month it was mentioned by one of the residents that the Amtrak train stop was going to be shut down because of this project. Is that true? Why? The residents depend on that stop to get to work, school, etc. And there is no HSR stop going to be there when it is done. A lot of the residents want to know so they asked for another community meeting with you to get clarification on this. This is very important to this community to have train transportation, it’s needed. In my opinion, if you want the support of the community, let them know how this project is honestly going to affect the transportation in this area. Thank you for your time and keep up the good work.
just got back from japan and it was an awesome exp riding their hight speed train. if this can be a cheaper alt to air travel count me in. i hope they will have rental car stall at each station.
They are referring to Deutsche Bahn. “This week, Deutsche Bahn, the Authority’s early train operator, began the process of assembling rough full-scale mockups of trainset interior design” (California High-Speed Rail Authority, 10/27/2023).
@@ChrisJones-gx7fcThey could certainly provide their opinion to the authority to convince them to go with Siemens, given that they’re advising the Authority on numerous other items.
@@RailFireProductionswhy would CAHSR choose a foreign operator rather than Amtrak? Or is the intention that Amtrak would eventually take over operations? And perhaps more importantly, why would they choose a German operator when Germany famously has some of the worst on-time performance of any major European country?

That’ll more likely be Brightline West to Las Vegas. Their train is planned to have a private party car that groups can rent. Not sure how big the call is for a party car in the Central Valley or between SF and LA, at least compared to the SoCal-Vegas crowd.
Glad to hear tracks will begin installation next year. So exciting.

I will literally fly to California just to ride the high speed train
Between this and Brightline West, California will have two high speed trains to ride in the not too distant future.

Ngl, those interiors actually look pretty cool!!
I will ride!
I WILL RIDE🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love these video updates on the CAHSR construction and infrastructure
I love these informational promos. Keep it coming!
Please make sure that the trains have screens and accurate announcements. Think of the trains in Japan
Most modern high speed trains definitely have screens (and the two companies they've narrowed it down to definitely produce those types of trains).
I guarantee you they will have screens.
I always want California High-Speed Rail in California and I always love California High-Speed Rail in California.😮

@@commentorsilensor3734 how is there little benefits
Are those long pagoda viaducts really necessary, no wonder the job is taking so long & high cost

Yes and yeah of course California High-Speed Rail in California.😮
looking forward to this so much
Looking forward to a summer construction update!

Short distance commercial air travel is inferior to HSR.
Really glad they will integrate with the local area and include shops. Wish they would reconsider the dining cart to make it more cozy
Yes 100%😮
I WILL RIDE.
The food area looks like a traditional American 'diner' 🚦
Train exterior design will be U.S.A Flag and California Flag design👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh wow i can't wait
LETS GOOOOO
Definitely bragging about this at the next friend/family/company function lol
So fucking dope

The stations need stores, cafes, etc.
Will there be a party train?🎉
That’ll more likely be Brightline West to Las Vegas. Their train is planned to have a private party car that groups can rent. Not sure how big the call is for a party car in the Central Valley or between SF and LA, at least compared to the SoCal-Vegas crowd.
That loud music
Interior is a waste of space. Try to fit as many seats as possible.
Hire some Japanese workers. You are too slow. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Waste of public money.
