California HSR finally Wins Peninsula Lawsuit After Five Years

Nearly five years after Peninsula cities first sued to block California's high-speed train from running along the Caltrain corridor, a judge has dismissed the case in a long-awaited victory for bullet train backers.


The one significant case remaining against the project will be heard in court in April. In that case, Madera farmers opposed to the bullet train, suing under the state's environmental law, have asked a judge to block this summer's groundbreaking.
