I'm aware. I'm referring to what it seems like they are getting for the $$$. I still stand by the opinion that once the HSR system makes it into SF, they are going to quickly realize the layout, constraints and capacity of the current Peninsula corridor is inadequate. Which does beg the question, if the current electrification project (outside, yes, of the required rolling stock) is actually a good use of funds if it's not being built to futureproof specifications (ambitions).
