I just learned about this a few minutes ago.

Sen. Rosen also says the initial goal of opening by 2028 — just in time for the U.S. Summer Olympics in Los Angeles — is still on track.

Idk why you all are doomering this, when they already built some 6/10 rail service in Florida. They're doing the same thing on easy mode over open desert, it's not a big deal. The question is whether they can pinch through the mountains to actually get to LA, that's the part that's gonna take another 15 years.
