7. They have to work out the connector stations

We have similar here where there is an auto-train going down to Florida along the east coast. But that train boards from the D.C. area, so people here in Philly would need to drive the 2.5 (or more if going the speed limit ) hours from Philly to D.C. and then load the car onto the train.

I had mentioned in a thread on a potential Texas bullet train project here - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143222802

where you have those "speed/segment" issues in and around the urban areas along the 450+ mile route of the Amtrak Acela on the east coast along the Northeast Corridor http://www.realtransit.org/nec7.php

I am sure they are going to do connecting portions (probably not this company). But for whoever gets the contract for the urban parts/connectors in both CA and NV, I'll just say good luck!!!!
