The citizens of California recently approved 10 billion dollars for high-speed train service from San Francisco to southern California. The system will have over 800 miles of track connecting all the major metropolitan areas of the Golden state. It looks to become America's first, truly world-class high-speed system. Trains will run in the 220+ mph range. LA to San Francisco in 2 and a half hours. Downtown to downtown.
It would be difficult, indeed, to overestimate the transcendent importance of the part the railroad has played in making the Nation what it is to-day. Perhaps it would be within bounds to say that without railroads to bind the States into one homogeneous whole, the Nation never could have attained its present size and importance.
