Federal Government Approves High Speed Rail Construction Plans
The federal agency that oversees the nation's railroad system has officially approved plans for the first leg of California's controversial high speed rail system.
The Federal Railroad Administration's approval on Wednesday was a necessary step to allow construction to begin early next year on the Fresno to Merced component of the system.
The approval by the FRA will allow the California High Speed Rail Authority to proceed with purchasing right-of-way from landowners for the system.
