What is even the point of bothering to put in a rail line that doesn't connect anything important? It's absurd

It's low cost (relatively) and it probably allows them to keep the 3.5 billion in Federal money.

I guess, but if that's the best reason they've got, heads ought to roll. It's sort of like just building the section of the transcontinental railroad from Cheyenne to Ogden.

This is between Bakersfield and Merced. Looks easy to build a line, but it doesn't look like it needs one.pic.twitter.com/94YCfeJ71X

One other thing about why they've kept a portion of the HSR porject is that they already started construction.
