      I'd also put in a plug for Phoenix-Tucson (suggested by Ian Mitchell, who I think is on here somewhere, in blog comments), which fits the model to a T since it has a valid EIS and can be built on existing ROW, either rail or freeway.https://twitter.com/sandypsj/status/1063489255408836608 …

      Related: I crayoned a route for a Brightline-ish operation in a rather obvious market between Phoenix and Tucson, using mostly existing-but-expandable rail ROW. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XFfdhYVKRXYt9U4BfwW8bbwDTlWxJXlr&usp=sharing …

      And though I don't think it's realistic, the Empire Corridor fits the operational parameters to a T. But you'd have to pry rights to half the Water Level Route ROW away from CSX, and operating rights away from Amtrak.

      Something I hadn't noted about this map before: it shows the much-discussed future planned connection to Palmdale, presumably along the controversial High Desert Corridor.https://twitter.com/sandypsj/status/1064645593639907328 …

      Did not realize that according to the HDC web page the Preferred Alternative includes a rail line in the media. Soooo is the state going to build the Victorville-Palmdale link for VTUS? Can we build that and not the freeway?https://www.metro.net/projects/high-desert-corridor/ …

      I know nobody likes dealing with Class Is, but maybe just double-track the SP Palmdale Cut-Off?

      Discussion of the preferred alternative starts at p. 87 of the EIR (warning: massive PDF) http://www.dot.ca.gov/d7/env-docs/docs/hdc/HDC%20FED--Vol%201--062016_FINAL.pdf …

      Some projections for LA-Victorville trips via Metrolink, from the High Desert Corridor EIR. Not inconsiderable.pic.twitter.com/J74yFX6Gvo

      So as I read this, the rosy projection is that VTUS+HDC to Palmdale could attract ~14-15 million riders per year by 2024 or so. Almost certainly optimistic.

      Anyhow, CA should quit building roads, but the rail aspect of the High Desert Corridor would seem to be reasonably strong. And it's worth pointing out that this is a situation where Brightline/VTUS is likely to benefit from significant public investment.
