The state can't even build a "high speed" (or as other countries might call it, regular speed) train track between those places.

The CAHSR plans were for ~350 km/h rail speed, which is basically the highest end of high-speed rail. It's the ~200 km/h speed of the NEC that is at best barely-high-speed rail.

The plans were for that. It's not built, and much of it, if built, is now not planned to support that speed.
