Officials in Washington have granted nearly $2.5 billion to California for a high-speed rail system that proponents say will speed passengers along at more than 200 miles per hour over 800 miles of track. Advocates say a trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles on high-speed trains would take just two and a half hours.

Guests:

Quentin Kopp, board member of the California High Speed Rail Authority

Alan Lowenthal, state senator representing California's 27th District

Martin Engel, Menlo Park resident whose house is adjacent to the proposed high-speed rail corridor
