Do you really want CHSR to revisit anything at this point? Planning started with the CA High Speed Rail Act in 1996, and it currently has zero ridership.
The NM Rail Runner planning started in 2003 and has had a functioning system starting in 2006, 100 miles growing to 15 stations, with the entire system operating for over ten years at this point. At a cost of <$400M dollars, or $.4B dollars in CHSR-speak.
CHSR is less about rolling stock and more about laughing stock. Maybe CA should formal cede jurisdiction of the ROW, actual ownership and governance of the land, to NM so something could get done outside of the morass of CA political processes.
