For now, upgrading Acela and building CHSR (SF-LA), Chicago Hub (CHI-STL), the T-Bone, Florida HSR, and Cascades (Seattle-Vancouver) are probably going to have the best chance of happening. All other lines and extensions may take more time than originally planned.

I do agree that the larger projects should have been given a little bigger piece of the pie.

High speed rail should first be spent in the Northeast. Then maybe California.

LMFAO.....you've go to be kidding right?
SanSan (or SanSac, whatever you prefer) will be the size of what BosWash is today in only 3 decades, and perhaps even catch it by mid-century.
We have NOTHING even remotely close to true HSR. NE needs a lot of help, too, but it already has a head start at least.
