I would be interested in hearing your reasons why the valley HSR right of way could not be used by diesel powered passenger trains. After all the gauge is the same, the curves are high radius and the grades are minimal. Provision is being made to exchange passengers with the San Joaquins at Madera.
"Madera city and county leaders gathered Monday at the Madera Amtrak station to hail as a victory the decision last week by the California High-Speed Rail Authority to include a “connecting station” there to link Amtrak’s San Joaquin passenger rail service with the state’s future high-speed train service."
And here is the link
Madera interchange station with San Joaquins
Add a few crossovers and away they go.
