Merced will be the first station in the country with 200mph capable trains. Fresno will be the 2nd.
The business plan as will be presented to the state legislature states:
"Commence testing of electrified high-speed trains by 2025 and put electrified high-speed
trains in service by 2028-29;"
This gels close to reality. If they start construction of Madera-Merced next year it would put them in a position to accept electrics by 2025, theoretically speaking of course.
