Additional HSR Corridor routes will soon be upcoming, including the Eugene OR to Sacramento CA corridor line layout.
But for now, please see the proposed and beneficial passage of the difficult Cajon traverse solution.
The Cajon Pass Tunnel procect
Below is the "in part" proposal for the HSR and visa-versa between Las Vegas and San Bernardino CA.
The intent by the designer is to electrify this corridor for HSR passenger trains and also for freight trains between Barstow, San Bernardino and the Long Beach Sea Port.
This electrified route design will greatly reduce energy consumption and reduce diesel emissions in the populated corridors vicinity. The application of green electrical power will also help to reduce costly pollution related health problems. Energy savings, better health for the people and travel time reductions will be a great contributor to offset the construction costs for this proposed project.
This route design will greatly reduce transit times for all trains, "people moving and freight transit" and also be able to recover electrical power by re-generative braking during a descent along the proposed and designed corridor.
Proven tunnel boring machines (TBM) are available to do the required boring size, let us people get on board and elect to do such projects.
