    Update: She's doing better. We both got home on the same day. Thank you guys :-)
    I am at the hospital with a friend. I'm fine. Hopefully she will be too. I was in the middle of posting this video when she called. I did not finish the whole description with the Google Earth link or the chapters. I'll finish the description when I get home.

      I have a day job and I have to keep my day job. I am a truck driver for a small construction company in Visalia, California. I work 5 to 6 days a week and 50 to 60 hours a week. I live in California. It's too expensive to live here without an actual job. Though I do have aspirations of retiring to my camper van and living down by the river. Get myself a really good laptop that'll run DaVinci Resolve and just go around the state shoot and drone videos lol

That was not an automatic stop. The drone never alerted to the power lines until I was completely stopped. That was a close one hehe.

    For building high-speed rail, I'm a little surprised to see so many level crossings appear to be in place looking like they've been revamped - are the expected to be left in place?
    As for value for money, Italy's high-speed rail network has meant that travel around the country is cheaper, easier, and they have virtually no more need for domestic air travel. Living in Melbourne, Australia, I can say that travel between Melbourne and Sydney would be faster, cleaner, and far more efficient if we had Euro/Japanese-style HSR. (We can only dream of maglev trains at this point.)

    About 35 billion dollars thus far, for the short segment. Then another $100 billion, per the LA Times - we know this a good estimate because the 1st estimates to build were so accurate. If they sell seats for $500 per person, how long before it pays for the expense to build? Let’s see, $135 billion divided by five hundred bucks. Oh yeah, it’s a math word problem. No one in California can do those. The people of California have just lost their minds. To spend all this money on a street car between two fixed points is beyond insane.

      @@jimp.7286 Obviously not million. Y'know what a hundred million dollars does? Change a highway exit. One or two highway exits. They're doing this at Calwa/Malaga by Fresno, they're doing this in the 205, they're doing this at a lot of places.
      People are moving in to california, as they always have been, and they're driving, and that means wearing down the roads and that means traffic and more traffic, especially as folks are moving to central valley cities as the cost of living at the Bay Area is too high. So they're widening the highways. And they'll keep doing it. And use taxpayer money to do it. I-205 widening project but just in Tracy? 300 billion. CA-152 widening project from Gilroy to Dunneville (so not even crossing Pacheco Pass)? 1 billion. For ten miles. Yeah these public works projects are pretty expensive.
      And as well as road widening, there's the issue of road maintenance. With so many folks driving the 5 and the 152, the roads get in sorry shape after a while. And yeah there's a pavement repair project going on in west side of Fresno County. And it costs 35 million for ten miles. To repair the pavement. And this'll keep happening. It ain't a bad thing either.
      But the obvious way to fix this is to get fewer folks driving on the 5 and the 99 and the 152/580 and wearing out the roads. And building a train that'd take folks from SF to LA (a sizeable portion of 5 travellers) would do just that. Steel on steel has way less wear and maintenance cost than roads, plus a train every 15 minutes instead of a car every ten seconds.
      It's a long-term investment. It's like the sort of tree you plant so your grandchildren can sit in its shade.

They've also laid track for relocated railroads, all captured in this video and elsewhere!
