The HSR route is from Sacramento to Stockton and Lathrop CA.
This planned corridor uses the former Western Pacific rail corridor.
The WPRR corridor has 26-grade crossings, and the SPRR, Sacramento, Lodi, and Stockton have 39-grade crossings plus nine spur tracks which also will require HSR flyovers, estimated 15.5 miles long, not fully studied as of now. Also, the WPRR corridor will allow the best speed between Sacramento and Stockton. Estimated trip time 20 minutes.
HSR flyover lengths between Sacramento to the north side of Stockton are about the same on both corridors. This WPRR is an un-surveyed conception corridor plan. Also, flyover mileages are only estimated.
We must use existing right-of-way (RoW) to construct HSR routes where ever we can, thus protecting food-producing farmland and reduce expensive farmland RoW acquisition costs.
The solution to accomplish this is, let us buy the former WPRR corridor from the, “now UPRR” in this area; there is only one rail-freight customer in this proposed segment. This area segment off the WPRR corridor will now belong exclusively to the CHSR RoW. The UPRR will then use this money derived from this sale to upgrade the Sacramento, Elk Grove, Lodi, and Stockton corridor as a capacity and safety improved freight line only, perhaps adding some additional motorway overpasses. The smart way to do things is to consider and help one and another, therefore benefiting both parties and our USA society in general.
