I've managed to sneak some footage of test track for the California high-speed rail system!

*laughter* Hoo, boy. A handheld overhead electric pickup for the electrified train. Incredible. Thanks!

Wow, you have to wonder how many people they lose from just accidentally running into the "overhead" wire. It's hot, bare, and just above eye level -- a recipe for disaster.

all those sparks underground, with the dust and a possibility of methane and other gases...... more excitement than i would want in a w*rkplace.


and i doubt we'll get even that for the billions we're voted to piss away on the proposed system here in the PRC. i predict most of it will go to consultants, lawyers, and advertising telling us what a great thing it will be if we'd just pass another bond measure and give them just a bet more money.
