A potential high-speed rail route, of about 350 miles, could bring the nation's fastest trains to the Pacific Northwest.
In hopes to deliver 250 mph rail service by midcentury, the Democrats in Washington’s congressional delegation are asking the federal government for $198 million to help plan a route between Vancouver, B.C.; Seattle; and Portland.
Or probably depends on what the plan encompasses. If we’re talking geotechnical surveys, elevations, etc for 316mi over mixed terrain and over an international border, then the planning stage could actually encompass a lot (and better planning could save a lot of money for the construction phase).
If it’s just a discussion of “how might we do this” with a few plastic models, not so much
