Initially running from San Francisco to LA, the system will eventually expand out to Sacramento and San Diego, with 24 stations spanning more than 1,200km. The high-speed line is the standard bearer for a state-wide modernisation plan that will invest billions in local and regional rail.
The system will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour. The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations.
The construction of the California High-Speed Rail system is an undertaking by the California High-Speed Rail Authority.
