Including Belen in a HSR discussion is beyond reproach

I can stomach cluelessness, but cluelessness and facetiousness no can do. To include
Belen in a HSR discussion is beyond reproach.

Currently FRA "HSR" minimum standard: "1. Tier I Passenger Train means a short-distance or long-distance intercity passenger train providing service at speeds that include those exceeding 125 mph (201 km/h). These trains may operate on shared tracks with freight trains [33]."

Lines such as Virgina, Ohio, North Carolina, Arizona and etc are eliminated from HSR fund contention leaving CAHSR and a few privates. NEC has there own pot of funds.

"Gov. Jared Polis signed off Wednesday on the creation of a new taxing district"

"Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation Wednesday to create a district for a Front Range passenger rail, a high-speed rail system"

"The Front Range train line expansion is estimated to cost up to $14 billion to build,"

I doubt they'll go for 125 speed capability, but you never know.

Brighline put in a short 20-30 mile 125mph section hoping they would be HSR eligible, maybe Colorado will choose the same.
