Still researching this rumor. Route projected uses Alamnor Lumber R.R., old S.P line from Westwood,CA to Susanville and Sierra R.R. from Susanville to Wendell CA. On the west side out of Humboldt Bay, uses North Coast R.R. from Samoa CA. to Blue Lake. Initial capitalization of $4.6 Billion. Considering that r.r.'s have the power of eminent domain it may not be so far fetch. Perhaps the united effort of major players looking to have high speed freight by bypassing cities.
