Will California ever get High Speed Rail?
The other day, there was an opinion piece in the Fresno Bee, where Russ Minick remembers having taken a trip to Japan 30 years ago and took his first ride on a “Bullet Train”. And ever since, he’s been wondering whether California will ever get High Speed Rail …
There always seems to be a more urgent need. And I begin to wonder whether our elected leaders will ever find the wisdom and the courage to get high-speed rail done.
I read the other day that the last of the generation of locomotives and cars that I rode in Japan have been retired from service. Some of them have been in museums for a decade.
Meanwhile, in the so-called Golden State, we wait. And wait. And wait. And we call that leadership.
