- This narrated educational video is part of high-speed rail's ongoing education and community outreach efforts that help explain how the program will impact and improve communities along the alignment. The video provides a conceptual overview of how the high-speed rail program will be built and revitalize downtown Fresno. It also highlights how the high-speed rail system will complement major attractions in the Fresno area, stimulate development and help lead to the reduction in blight along the system.
This video helps illustrate why it costs so much money and time to build just a few miles of HSR track. It isnt the track and electrification -- it's all the bridges and underpasses and road realignments that have to be completed.
There is high speed rail in on the East Coast corridor but only of speeds upto 150mph.
This will be the the first true high speed line in the USA at 220mph.
David Glass more like 186mph or 300kph thats considered high speed. 220mph is to high right now maybe overtime but not now.
democritus you call this progress?? lmfao!
DUDE DO YOU NOT REALIZE ITS TAKEN 22 YEARS TO START LAYING TRACK DOWN? IF YOU COULD CALL THAT AS PROGRESS I HOPE YOUR STILL ALIVE IN 2199 WHEN THIS GARBAGE BECOME READY TO DO ITS FIRST RUN AFTER AN OVERBLOATED CALIFORNIA STYLE BUDGET WITH ONLY 1 ROUTE NO ONE WILL TAKE. FIRST STEP TO FAILURE IS PROGRESS.we were all excited a decade ago. now its going to be a over budget land grab that will end like the LA freeways that all the citizens (that's you California retards) stops from ever getting expanded.progress? I will agree. but not good progress. I'm sorry but florida is already running service on their high speed trains. your still DECADES away. don't worry once California safty obsessed government gets involved this train will run at half its speed. not to mention all the jacked up libtard lawyers sueing for excessive safety.
just to show you how uneducated you are (probably Californian afterall) here is the briteline ALREADY RUNNING ITS SECOD TEST! that's not what you claimed "not even beginning to lay track" so that makes me or anyone believe you lessczcams.com/video/R_NRtpgFiGQ/video.html
and the first ride open to public.czcams.com/video/_LfjQvIuFP8y/video.htmlour ignorance is showing. you might want to cover that up!
A lot of moviestars will enjoy riding that high speed train.
Fresno, Modesto, Bakersfield, and all Central Valley will benefit tremendously from HSR.
How?
David Song Who is going to ride??? smh
@@whiteclifffl people from Bakersfield and Fresno.
F for the cleaner store at 1:34
This is behind schedule the state of California is needing this along with the nation.
this is a great idea for fresno ca
I'm sorry, I'm going to mention the color of the train again. They really need help on the colors.
Claude what’s wrong with blue and yellow? Reminds me of the blue angels and makes the trains themselves look fast!
Eurostar have similar colour scheme, and they’re pulling it off.
This high speed train is pretty can't wait get done build high speed train
Am i the only conservative that supports this?
Possibly. :P Many conservatives cannot stand public transit, even the idea of it.
I don't think so. Demitrius Villa, the president and founder of the High Speed Rail America Club, might be a conservative. He doesn't talk about it much since he doesn't like to.
Hijacked96 he's mentioned that he 'leans conservative on several issues' but besides that I haven't heard anything else.
He does have a very pro business stance in many of his videos. For what it's worth
no your not. trains are well needed.
all motor Many liberals and environmentalists here in Los Angeles are dead set against it!!!
fresno has a large surrounding area, if they pull this off they're gonna need a light rail system to serve that one station
Fresno is making Bus Rapid transit
Many residents of Fresno are low income and something like light rail would’ve been a good idea. For example in Canada you have Kitchener-Waterloo area which has roughly 0.5 mil people and they have light rail. So it’s not wild to assume that Fresno would want some.
@@justsamoo3480 they'd have to choose the locations very carefully as i know an area where there's a strip of shopping centers across from a highschool. So i think a bus system would be better.
@@G-546 We need the rail. The bus system is still too slow. Not useable for getting to and from work with is ultimately what we're going to need it for.
@@Yvonne-Bella I'm not sure what a strip mall by a high school has to do with a light rail or public transport but the bus system slow and unreliable. We need a light rail.
But why does it have to pass through the center of Fresno when it can do so at the edge and thereby lessen the ballooning costs. Because of this, the 2 edges (LA & SF) were shelved for the time being.
Because think about when you get off at a train station and everything in the area. You have shopping, food, entertainment and more. All of this is in a downtown, or eh-hem, a city center.
You wouldn't get the same ridership if you put it out on the edge of town. Why do you guys think everything needs to be on the edge of town lol. Major public service projects, concerts, and anything that is different to you. So afraid of change. Fresno isn't a small town anymore and never will be again. Get over it. And by the way, the costs keep ballooning because people who are afraid of change keep trying to stop it. Not because it is going through the center of town. Who ever heard of a train stop on the edge of town. Give me a break. Did you even think before you wrote that?
8 years ago,,, jeez...
Awesome!! where not palm springs California speed high rail ?
there is no way the speed will be 220 plus y do we need to go fast? freeway speeds are limited to 70?
🤦🏻♂️
30 years later...
I hope all equipment and train will be built in USA,from a-z.
They are, that's one reason the price is high. Federal law for railroads to be made in America after the stimulus of 2008 crisis
Oooo
WHEN can I buy a ticket and take a ride?
Bill Y. 2025,
Bill Y. NEVER
2033
This is an informative video. It even includes some photos of Supervisor Phil Larson back in 1901. One thing you can say about that guy, he is consistently out of date AND out of touch!
Too bad the politicians got involved and the top speed is way down.. and the timing no longer matches the guarantee in the line as proposed in the vote... I suspect the cost will be way north of 1 TRILLION when actually finished. IF it ever gets finished. All you have to do is have the engineering company that did the big dig and Charlotte light rail, and costs will skyrocket..... In Charlotte 190 million turned into 640 million on a line 30% shorter than originally proposed.And with others making significant donations outside the group actually contracting for that work, it may have been 1 BILLION.. for 9 miles... With almost no land purchased at market rates...
It is nowhere near 1 trillion lol. Nice try though. 1 trillion is 1000 billion lol.
Notice how nobody ever talks about how the Shinkansen in Japan cost twice as much as was budgeted? Because it doesn't matter. The short-term cost of the high speed rail corridor is just the cover charge to enter the concert of 22nd century human and industrial development in which the US's costal states will be dominant due to pushing through these asset investments. The immediate cost is a short-term calculation that has no way of capturing the actual opportunity costs that would be lost on a socioeconomic human development index of NOT doing the mega-project. For anybody that cares, in 1958 JNR put the cost of the Shinkansen at ¥ 194.8 billion in order to secure the government’s funding approval. The actual cost reached ¥ 380 billion (just 5% short of doubling the original estimate)....Stop thinking small and short-term because the rest of the industrial world is thinking big and long-term and if you don't broaden your thinking it's going to swallow you whole.
May be we should appeal to the patriotism of opponents (conservatives) to get them on board. Many Central valley towns were founded by railroads. Beautiful train.
Max Hernandez It is not intended to replace agriculture. The train won't affect my upcoming job hauling cherries.
***** I don't have shallow thinking so I can see how sharing Right-of-way with utilities, transmission system, pipelines, even low paying bike trails, can help provide revenue. Not having shallow thinking, I can also see how HS rail can carry priority parcels and can be offset by freeways that don't need expansion.
Screw 2nd tier nationhood.
***** So what if freight makes more money. This rail project is for passengers, and if self financing is not possible then at lest the subsides will be minimized..
Indio Side Please educate us on how the railroad system in the USA was funded?
@@indioside376 If anything it will help preserve it.
1:18 locomotive with front-lethal protection like only few Bullet Train today
100 years ago people's lives for animals under the railroad was higher than now.
This is nice but by the time it's finished... everyone will have left California because of the drought. This money should be used for desalination plants aka converting Ocean water to Drinking Water.
Mr. Ben soo, u don't know the rain that has been going on genius?
what about this year? any rain? nope!
there is no drought noob
This Video is Not Correct as California Will NOT have the First High Speed Rail In the US as there Already is High Speed Rail from Boston to Washington DC
+Dwight Sturtevant You're only half right. California won't be the first HSR system in the USA, but the Acela shouldn't count. It only can go 150 mph for about 40 mi, so I highly doubt that should count in the first place (the only reason it counts is because of that tiny 150 mph stretch). The Texas Central will, if all goes to schedule, will be the first real high speed rail system.
The Acela Express that rund in the North East Corridor is only a "Higher Speed Rail train line. As the Acela Express is not able to cut the travel times significantly enough and has a fairly low average speed which is due to several drastic speed changes and sharing the tracks with several other trains that slow the Acela down and no tracks that meet the world wide High Speed Rail Standard the Acela can not decleared as "High Speed Rail" nor High Speed Train.
Even tho the Acela is able to reach 186mph and to keep up an extreme high averagr speed if Amtrak would invest in the NEC. With that u could be in aprox 2 hours and a few minutes from boston in new york
It's a very nice dream. And it'll probably never happen.
Mik Moen It’s a nighttime that will never happen.
I don't see the advantage of this unless it's significantly less expensive than flying.
the airports are over capacity already. they won't have the infrastructure needed to handle the future traffic.
Rail won't just go from LA-SFO, it will also stop at Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, etc...creating more travel markets with one train than one airplane would.
Fuzzy Tabby trains can carry up to 600 people, imagine how many cars that will take off the road.
It's about options. Airports are over capacity and highways are congested. This is about the future, not just today
No TSA, no taking off your shoes, no metal detectors, no having to show up an hour early. Plus, the train stations will be closer to where people live and work than current airports. Actual travel time in the train might be longer than on a plane, but total time from leaving for the trip to getting to your final destination will probably be less. Probably they will price it about equally for a plane trip, maybe a little less. It won't be a lot less. Of course, it's also possible this can be used for shorter trips; for example, a commuter rail (Metrolink, Cal Train, Coaster) replacement, for a trip from, say, Riverside to downtown LA on weekday mornings and back in the evening.
Where's my Hyperloop?
Can you say 'BOONDOGGLE' ?
Robert Tuss Jerry Brown boondoggle.
"This narrated educational video..."
You misspelled marketing/propaganda, lol
BOONDOGGLE!!!!!!!
I fear you will never attempt this contract. You have to many politicians in the pay of the car dealerships who have no interest in getting there car buyers to take the train. They are quite happy having you sit in your cars that you buy from them on a jammed roads. I feel so sad for u in the states. Al l your politics are in the pay packets of the car dealerships. Maybe one day you will wake up and grow up when your people get tiered of sitting in traffic jams while the rest of the world takes the train HIGH SPEED RAIL.
The California High Speed Rail is under constructions, contracts have been let. California has the 5th largest economy in the world just edging out the entire UK. California has had a history of building large controversial infrastructure. The Golden Gate and Bay Bridges were very controversial with many opponents. Don't forget BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) in the San Francisco Bay area was designed and built in the 1960's and 1970's in the heyday of the American automobile age. The BART system is big including at the
time and until just recently, had the record for the longest underwater tunnel for any heavy rail transit system in the world the Transbay tube. They will built it even without Federal support because the alternative is unworkable and much more expensive.
Just took a trip to the Phoenix area. Comparing their roads/highway to California is night and day. I guess if you plan on putting Billions into a High speed rail system, someone else will invest in fixing roads and infrastructures surrounding the rail system. This will just be another money pit just like the new Bay Bridge expansion project that was way over budget(started 1,300,000,000 to 6,300,000,000 Guestimation). What was it? 119 miles starting from Bakersfield to wherever it ended in the Central Valley was 10.6 Billion Dollars(10,600,000,000). That was a 77% increase from the original GUESSTIMATE. That was just in an area that is not as congested as places such as San Francisco. You all think it is only going to cost 68 Billion Dollars(68,000,000,000) for the entire project??? California haven’t even solve the water conservation issues whenever a drought happens but still have the capacity to take on the soon to be highly over budget HSR project.
whats the speed limit in phoenix 45 mph
They don't have as many cars, they don't have as many people and they won't have a large population boom like California. Your vision is limited to the cheese burger you will eat at 5 pm. This is about next 50 - 100 years. Highways are not a sustainable model. It's expensive, inefficient and limited. This is the future. Get on board!
Lee Ntantu I live in Arizona now. The highway system is like Southern California was before the crazy Democrats ruined the state.
You complain about population growth, but you support open borders?
Insane.
werxin 75. Phoenix is awesome. That’s why smart people in California are moving here.
The HSP will boost property value, but when young people like myself want to start a life and buy a home it will be so expensive to afford a home. The U.S is in so much debt.
VQ151 Well if Hyperloop will have a station in Fresno, you will suffer the same problems of higher property values as with HSR.
HSR is old and expensive technology. A Hyperloop would be an advance in technology and less expensive.
VQ151 Not quite. Hyperloop is unproven technology. HSR exists and is a major driver of economies in places such as Germany, France, Japan, and China. Also keep in mind that only a handful of people can safely fit inside a hyperloop capsule compared to all of the seats inside of a train made up of multiple cars. And if you think that's not enough, the California High Speed Rail authority hopes to send one train every five minutes. Hyperloop can't beat the corridor capacity of HSR even if Hyperloop runs at 700 mph and has a pod pas by every 30 seconds. California High Speed Rail will have a corridor capacity of 12,000 people per hour in one direction. The Hyperloop between Los Angeles and San Francisco can only carry 3,360 people per hour in one direction.
How is this creating jobs lol
Ugly renderings of mostly parking lots...
Waste
Of
Our
Money
no
@@miles5600 Yes.
I can't believe this fruitless money pit is what's keeping the state from building more water storage for Central Valley Farmers. Shame on all you bureaucratic d-bags
What does that have to do with farming....if farming is making profit, it should then invest in those storages or water investments....keep in mind that 80% of Californians water is being used for farming and farming keeps outgrowing the amount of water California has....so farming size should be based on the amount of water it has....stop planting so many almonds or other crops in areas that have no water...
