Future
Bakersfield has been selected as a stop for the California High Speed Rail. Currently two alignment options are being considered through Bakersfield. Both options have the high speed rail station located near the existing station. They also show the two stations being connected to allow transfer from high speed rail to conventional trains. Initial construction of the system is expected to begin in 2012, although the construction date for the station is currently unknown.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.”
—George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
“All that grave weight of America
Cancelled! Like Greece and Rome.
The future in ruins!”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
