...LA to SF?

Are these "temporary jobs," or jobs that may last for ten years or more?

How long will it take to fund/build the full LA to SF bullet train?

I'm thinking, more than what I would call, a "temporary job."

Plus, after that, there's the ongoing operation and maintenance.

Edited to add: Don't get me wrong, I'm for the bullet train.

It will create jobs and provide a great service to Californians like myself.
