There's a lot of factors that go into it. Making all the viaducts and grade separations earthquake resistant is one. But a lot of the cost has gone into Eminent Domain negotiations. Real Estate prices in California complicate that immensely. Also, the cost of tunneling through the Diablo Mountains in the Bay Area, the Tehachapi in Bakersfield, and the San Gabriel Mountains into the LA area was greatly underestimated.

@ChrisJones-gx7fc 2 года назад
the current goal is interim Bakersfield-Merced service by the end of this decade. It looks like San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) will be the interim operator, and be responsible for train testing and service and will be leasing the track and equipment from CHSRA, and therefore an operating subsidy won't be necessary for CHSRA since they aren't the one operating the service. While that happens, construction will continue towards SF and LA. I believe that once SF is connected to then CHSRA will take over operations from SJJPA for SF-Bakersfield service and eventually full Phase 1 service to LA/Anaheim. SJJPA also operates the Amtrak San Joaquins, which'll terminate at Merced from Sacramento and Oakland once HSR service begins, and that'll most likely continue after CHSRA takes over operations.

@@DouglasLippi Prop 1A was never meant to fund the entire Phase 1 system. That was just to get the ball rolling, with cap-and-trade and other public (federal and state) and private funding making up the difference. That’s been perhaps the biggest issue with this project is it’s never had a steady stream of funding. With a more pro-rail administration and new federal money to compete for, it does give more hope on extending to SF and LA sooner. Getting a train running ASAP is crucial to proving the project’s merits, even on just a Central Valley route connecting to existing transit, and helping push construction and eventually service to SF and LA. That’s always been and will always be the goal. Newsom’s 2019 speech merely said focus would be on getting a Valley train up and running first, then turn attention toward SF and LA when more funding was available, which was basically already the plan.

So far it's only been about $8.6 billion spent with $2.9 billion currently available, and $21-25 billion total authorized for spending, according to CAHSR's 2022 Draft Business Plan. $105 billion is the latest estimated HIGH end cost for the full Phase 1 SF-Anaheim route, with the base cost around $87 billion and the low cost about $73 billion, also according to CAHSR's 2022 Draft Business Plan. There's still $4.2 billion in Prop 1A funds, which were authorized by California voters in 2008 for high speed rail construction, that need to be released to CAHSR to finish the Central Valley IOS between Merced and Bakersfield, and the longer that money is delayed in the State Legislature the longer construction will take.

The actual estimated cost range is $78-105 billion. And the actual cost depends on the design of the rest of the system and when it will be built.

SJJPA, the same agency that operates the Amtrak San Joaquins, will be the interim operator for the Merced to Bakersfield route while CHSRA pushes construction toward SF and LA. Their plan is to terminate San Joaquin service at Merced where it and ACE will connect Sacramento and the Bay Area with HSR that’ll travel to Bakersfield and connect with buses to LA. Stations at Wasco and Corcoran that were served by San Joaquin trains would be replaced with bus services that would connect to the nearest HSR station. My guess is ticket prices would be the same as for the San Joaquins. Because SJJPA will be the interim operator, not CHSRA, there’s no breaking the rule of no operating subsidy since they’re not the operator, and SJJPA will be making lease payments to them for use of the track and trains. Also, this will be the first true high speed rail line in the US, and I guarantee lots of people are going to want to experience it, not just the typical San Joaquin riders but also those who had never used that service before as well as people who want to experience high speed rail for the first time. A train that’s 90-100 minutes faster than the predecessor service is huge, and should create an increase in ridership, how much is a prediction but it should at least be the same if not more than current ridership (pre-pandemic).

@@buddha199115 You're lumping a bunch of stuff together here that is completely unrelated. China has massive issues with construction quality. Their domestic companies are simply unable to do construction at the same level as international firms. This is mostly because they don't have those kinds of competitive pressures when they operate in China, which is where the vast majority of their experience comes from. There, their mistakes are simply hidden by the regime because "it looks bad". As soon as they try to build anything outside of their little pond, they immediately show everyone their incredibly low levels of quality. Case in point, the sinking Millennium Tower in SF and the eastern span of the Bay Bridge. There are numerous other examples of this from all around the world, but these are "close to home" for US Californians. Concerning their building programs in poor countries, this has also been discussed widely. They are doing it for political gain, because they want something from the host country. It's not charity. They usually force the host country to take out debt from Chinese banks and milk the home country for decades after if they don't get the political outcomes they want. Basically, it's a scam. So, two things: 1. Low quality because of lack of experience building to high construction standards, 2. Profiteering off of poor countries with many and massive "strings attached".

To my eyes it seems very reasonable. I mean the trains going at full speed create insane forces even on smooth curves, so insane that the iron tracks will form cracks in a couple of years, and the foundations should last a long time.

I think the track & systems contract is supposed to be bid for this or next year, so construction of those should begin in the mid-2020s, with train testing in maybe late 2026 or 2027 and Merced-Bakersfield service beginning by 2029. At least as far as the current schedule has it. While train testing and later service happens, construction work will continue to progress toward SF and LA as funding becomes available.

@@bluepasta9505 $4.2 billion in Prop 1A funds is being held up in the CA State Legislature, and the sooner it gets released to CHSRA to finish the Central Valley segment between Merced and Bakersfield, the sooner trains can start running. 2029 is based on if that funding gets released soon, so of course if that money continues to get held up then yeah the opening date would very likely get pushed back again. Prop 1A was voted for by California voters for a high speed rail line, of which the Central Valley segment is a crucial part, so it’s imperative that it be finished ASAP so trains can start rolling by the end of the decade and prove the concept of high speed rail in the US. California’s is the first true high speed rail line in the nation and currently only one in the construction phase.

@brandonk9706
@brandonk9706 2 года назад
In theory, yes. However, in practice, Amtrak can't even run it's own trains from Bakersfield to Los Angeles because freight railroads own the tracks over Tehachapi Pass and those tracks have been running at capacity for years so Amtrak can't get a slot to get its passenger trains to LA. That's why Amtrak passengers today have to take an Amtrak bus from Bakersfield to LA or take the long slow (but more scenic) way on a train along the Central Coast. One of the biggest goals of this project is to restore the passenger rail connection between Los Angeles and the Central Coast by creating a new route through the Tehachapis. Metrolink's Antelope Valley Line from Palmdale to LA has the capacity to complete the journey from there if a non-high speed patch is desired.
@ChrisJones-gx7fc
@ChrisJones-gx7fc 2 года назад
​@@brandonk9706 freight railroads own most of the tracks Amtrak operates on, the exceptions being a few Amtrak owns like the NE Corridor and a few Midwest routes, as well as routes owned by public entities like California's Surf Line between Fullerton and San Diego (jointly owned by SCRRA and NCTD). Going by rail between Bakersfield and LA would take much longer than the bus connection (2 hours by bus vs probably 4-5, if not longer, by train), plus as you said the route is busy and is mostly single track, so there aren't many time slots for regular passenger trains with all the freight traffic. The Coast Starlight has rarely used Tehachapi when the Coast Line is being repaired, and the Southwest Chief, although at night and very early morning, does use Cajon Pass, a much busier freight route, daily between LA and Chicago. Passenger trains are meant to get priority over freight trains, but because many parts of the US rail network is single track, trains have to wait their turn to use stretches of it, and that can impact the passenger train severely if it misses its slot, having to then wait for the next available one, or if a freight train using that stretch is delayed and the passenger train must wait longer for the freight to get out of the way.
