- I saw that CNN blurb also.
-
- The CNN folx even went so far as to show computer-graphics
- diagrams of the swiveling axles of the X2000 trainset that enable it
- to go around curves more easily. CNN also showed some tilting of a
- stationary car. Inside the train, the ride seemed smooth; at least the
- camera's view didn't bounce around.
-
- They also showed a map of possible future high-speed
- corridors. It was shown only briefly and I caught only part of it.
-
- The Pacific Northwest: Portland -- Seattle -- Vancouver
-
- The California Coast: Santa Barbara -- Los Angeles -- San Diego
-
- were the ones that I caught.
