By 2033, the first high-speed rail system in the U.S. will whisk passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles in under three hours at speeds above 200 mph. The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, covering 800 miles and having up to 24 stations. The vision doesn’t stop there. The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is working with regional transportation providers to implement a statewide rail modernization plan that includes local and regional rail lines to meet 21st century transportation needs.
