A California Bullet Train?
A "Baby Bullet" train from San Francisco to San Jose may be the beginning for California's $25 billion high-speed rail system.
"Caltrain's fast-track construction of a "Baby Bullet" train that will cut the San Francisco-to-San Jose commute nearly in half may be the Little Engine That Could to sell Californians on a statewide Big Bullet train. As superfast trains gain newfound support in Congress after the Sept. 11 terror attacks crippled air travel, officials for California's proposed $25 billion statewide high-speed rail system envision their big bullet train and Caltrain's baby counterpart literally sharing the same tracks to success."
