This is 100% boondoggle.
First, it is yet another incompatible technology, which means more transfers. Second, it connects to Anaheim, which has no airport facilities, thanks to the Irvine folks. Third, it won't go 300mph. It won't go 200mph. It might make 120mph, which means a 4-8 hour trip with dwell time. Why will anyone bother?
Jet traffic works.
Conventional and electrified rail works.
I would love to ride a train to Vegas. But we don't even have Amtrak service.
