High Speed Rail in the UK
The UK currently has high speed rail, but instead of changing track for the train, they decided to use the same track used for High Speed Rail as the one for regular train. This is a major aspect in Great Britain's thinking, for the turns in the track are so tight, that they had to come up with their own type of train to keep it on the track.
California Still on the Track to Sucess

California, after proposition 1A was passed, could not give the bonds needed to start the project, so they took some of the 8 billion and are starting by the seperation of grades, since that would take a while, and they have the time.
