I understand that the High Speed Train project between LA and San Diego has
been canceled due to lack of financing.  Anyone out there have any additional
information?

  Last week, there was a short article in the San Francisco Chronicle 
stating that the plans had been sold to Amtrak for $300,000.  Amtrak spokesman
Arthur LLoyd said that there were no plans for Amtrak to carry on the project.
From what I can gather, the  LA-San Diego high-speed project had been the most 
promising of all the high-speed rail projects in the United States.
