We're building our first high-speed rail line here in California that will eventually connect San Francisco & Los Angeles, and travel at speeds up to 220 miles per hour. Unfortunately, revenue service for the 520-mile long project's completion has been pushed back to 2033 due to unstable funding and numerous lawsuits since breaking ground in 2015.
In this episode of Imaginary Lines: Return to Form, Space, & Order we will explore why the planned 167-mile Phase II bullet train from LA to San Diego might have been a better proof of concept investment for California to begin construction on. We'll also explore what our options are for improving regional rail service in sprawling Southern California.
Thank you to every single one of our viewers for waiting so patiently!
