On December 2, 2010, the California High-Speed Rail Authority Board voted to start construction of the first part of the California High-Speed Rail line at Borden and continue it to Corcoran, California. Construction is expected to begin in 2012.[5] As of 2024, the project has yet to make any significant progress.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
