I noticed that the proposed route takes the Cali high speed over Tehachapi Pass. Never was there a better arguement for dedicated track than mountains. Though high speed trains require large radius curves they also make possible steep grades and extreme superelevated track on purpose built right-of-ways.

Though it would be a shame to pass through such beautyful country at 180mph.
