Just a few highlights of High-Speed Rail reading for today.


So many article have suddenly piled up that I'm going to provide only the URL for them so that you can open them yourselves.

While they all say some of the same things, they also see the problem from different perspectives and introduce different information among their various articles.

I strongly urge you to read as many of these articles as you can.  Please note where these newspapers are published.  Some come from metropolitan areas directly on the HSR route and are fearful of the consequences directly to their immediate communities. Others hail from considerable distance away from the intended rail route, but still see the project as a financial threat to everyone in this state.

If you have been keeping up with your daily dose of HSR criticism and have read these articles already, you deserve a gold star at the top of your term paper.

Keep up the reading.  As they teach at West Point, "Know thy Enemy!"
