<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>Brazil is planning to build a 317 mile HSR line for $16B. CAHSR is a 430 mile line with a $98B price tag. That's $50M/mile in Brazil vs. $230M/mile in CA. </p> <p>That's more than 4X the cost per mile! What gives? [/quote]</p> <p>If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the latest numbers for the CHSR Project have been scaled back to $68 billion before financing. Depending on the terms of the financing, it can double the cost of a long term capital project.</p>
