Caltrain, from SF to SJ, is part of the California high speed rail system, and you can ride it right now. It's now electrified at 25KV, welded rail, concrete ties, and compatible with high speed rail. The Stadler trains are capable of 125MPH but are run slower because there are so many stations.

If you are claiming that Caltrain is part of the grand high speed rail system, you are literally being taken for a ride

The track is. That's how the SF connection is supposed to be made.
