The system will extend from San Francisco and Sacramento, via the Central Valley, to Los Angeles and San Diego via the Inland Empire. As planned, the track from San Francisco to Los Angeles would be 432 miles long. Proposed stations are shown on the right, with stations on the initial San Francisco-Los Angeles-Anaheim route given in bold. San Diego officials have expressed desire to have the route potentially extend to its South Bay cities and border with Tijuana to capitalize on the economic opportunities. On July 2, 2009, U.S. transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced extension of the California high-speed rail XpressWest corridor to Las Vegas, Nevada. In January, 2012, CHSR released a study, started in May 2011, that favors a route through Antelope Valley over one that parallels Interstate 5.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of spaceout of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
