Bob2 I would love to hear your opinion on an aspect of building the CAHSR that I seldom hear discussed. I was amazed to see on the proposed/adopted rail alignment through the Palmdale-LA segment that an alarming amount of this line is proposed to be on underground alignment. I say alarming because this some of the most violently seismically contortive terra firma in all of CA. Add frequent to the list of adjectives. Direct danger from infrastructure failure is self explanatory. Less important is the subtraction of view of surrounding area, mostly important to the tourist, but worthy of mention.
