California's Proposed High-Speed Train System

California is planning a state-of-the-art high speed train system that would travel north and south through the state from Sacramento and San Francisco to San Diego, and stop everywhere in between. The technology in the train system is inspired by the what’s already in place in Europe and Asia where trains can travel at speeds of over 200 MPH at times. The maximum trip length, from San Diego to San Francisco which is 500 miles will take just under four hours. If driving, that same trip driving would be double the time. Check out the website below for tons oh videos and information on the project.
