Unless Gavin has an improbable "come to Jesus" moment about Jerry's Legacy and attempts to dump or prune CAHSR, the Palmdale-Tehachapi HSR alignment will be electrified before any Electrolink turns a wheel.
PBCAHSR remains a high profile priority of the Democratic Party patronage machine that dominates California - the megaproject is a juggernaut and set-in-concrete committed to the high desert detour, which will replace any existing Metrolink or Amtrak service in the area. How else to justify the exorbitant cost of the base tunnels?
If you have not noticed Agent Orange is about to be overthrown and the eunuchs returned to power in DC. First thing on Pelosi's agenda will be to raid the federal treasury and send a bunch of billions here to distribute to Tutor & friends.
