CAHSR Road Trip Silicon Valley - Merced, Gilroy, San Jose, San Francisco California High Speed Rail

On the road again... to check out California High Speed Rail plans from a person-eye view, and with some renders for parts I missed. 500 miles from Anaheim to San Francisco by road, catching the important parts of the CAHSR Phase 1 route in 2 days.
In this episode, it's over 160 miles of investigating what's going on with plans for the CAHSR section from the Central Valley to Silicon Valley and San Francisco, all the way to Salesforce Transit Center and its beautiful rooftop park. Grab the cooler, a 12-pack of Cokes, and some snacks because we're taking a road trip, baby! We'll stop by the station sites and check out all the biggest and most awesomest future California High Speed Rail locations. Everything from the obscure to the infamous.
And that's not all! Two other videos proceed this one in the series: Anaheim to Bakersfield and Bakersfield to Merced. If you haven't seen those, check 'em out! Links below.
There are a lot of interesting things to see in the big, beautiful state of California, train-wise and other wise, so throw a couple of changes of clothes in a backpack, jump in the passenger seat, and crank those tunes because the music isn't going away no matter how many people complain about it!
