Explore the California High Speed Rail route from above in an airplane to not only see how construction is coming along, but also to observe all of the terrain standing in the way of finishing one of the largest engineering projects in the world. Starting in downtown Los Angeles, we fly 270 miles north along the route through the Mojave desert and Central Valley.

I know this project as a whole isn't about Bakersfield, but there will be a station here and the first segment (currently under construction) will go from Bakersfield to Madera.

Are you looking forward to its completion or do you think it's a waste of money?

I'm looking forward to it but think the choice of location for the Bakersfield station is ridiculous. That area is not the first impression I want visitors to have of Bakersfield.
