Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!

California’s high-speed rail project promised to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco with trains traveling up to 220 mph.

WSJ travels to construction sites, analyzes satellite images and reviews legal filings to explain what comes next for the multi-billion-dollar project.
