This project is supposed to be complete in 2050, so I assume this is just existing track that they were able to claim for development but have to replace.

lathe-of-heaven california will get high speed rail by 2050, but with maximal irony as part of the american century of humiliation. built by contractors from the people's republic of china starting in 2041 after decades of inaction by the california government, it will be completed by 2050.

and just in time for the big red button xi-button

My point is that they are dragging their feet just to bring back infrastructure we already had decades ago.
