HSR to start in Central Valley, NOT ANAHEIM

All,
Lots of news about Anaheim in the past few weeks....


A potential "switched track" to the ARTIC project and HSR starting in Anaheim has been dealt a hand from FRA.  Build in the Central Valley to showcase HSR speed or loose $715 million from the FRA.

This news is also been a bad week to Anaheim as Curt Pringle Mayor of Anaheim until yesterday (Dec 7) decided not to participate in CAHRS meetings until his term ended due to, the possibility of conflict of interest.

AND the ARTIC project possibly not being fully able to accept HSR in its design.

This only confirms how important the ARTIC project and MAGLEV connections take place.


Keep Flying On The Ground!
