Back in November, 2008, California voters approved a bond measure to finance the construction of the California High Speed Rail system The proposed electric-powered high speed passenger rail train will run from Los Angeles to Sacramento, with extensions through the San Francisco, the peninsula, San Jose and South Santa Clara County. As the proposal is written currently, the new train will use the same track as the Caltrain on the peninsula. It’s proposed that the new trains run in the same right-of-way as the Caltrain line on the peninsula.
