Federal agencies and the state high-speed rail authority aren’t even speaking, foreshadowing further setbacks for an already troubled rail endeavor.
Support piers stand as part of the Cedar Viaduct section of California’s bullet train project, south of downtown Fresno.
In March, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao let it spill out in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference., referring to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to focus on building an isolated Central Valley rail segment of the original Los Angeles-to-San Francisco system. It gives the federal government, she said, the right to ask for the return of grants that date to 2009 and 2010.
After February, officials at the Federal Railroad Administration, a part of the Transportation Department, no longer took their telephone calls, responded to written communication or processed their environmental documents. Both sides are accusing each other of damaging the nation’s largest infrastructure project, the first serious effort by the U.S. to build a high-speed rail system more than half a century after Japan made technological history by unveiling its Shinkansen bullet train.
