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:
“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
