High-Speed Train to Link the North and South of California

Do you commute a lot? Hate flying? Angry at the gas prices lately? Well if you happen to live in California we have some good news for you. A high-speed train is going to link San Diego with Sacramento. The train will travel at speeds of 220 mph or higher which means you’ll be able to go through the whole 800 miles from the north to the south in just about 4 hours or so.
The project will create about 320.000 permanent job and it will save the state about 12.7 million of oil barrels per year. Way to save some car gas right there! Hopefully it will be available by 2030 although there’s no official news regarding the timeframe needed to complete this huge $45 million deal.
