New California-Las Vegas Line: Times the CA Bullet Train Plan Was Proposed in History

The initiatives to develop a high-speed rail system in California have passed through multiple phases:

1. During his first two terms as Governor (1975-1983), Jerry Brown advocated for a high-speed rail system in California and signed the legislation for studying it.

2. In 1992, the San Francisco–Los Angeles rail corridor was proposed at the federal level.

3. The California High-Speed Rail Authority was established in 1996 to begin formal planning.

4. Proposition 1A in 2008 established initial funding for the California High-Speed Rail system.

5. In 2013, construction contracts started to be awarded.

6. The project received renewed commitment from Governor Gavin Newsom in 2019 despite project delays and cost overruns.

7. Divisions in state leadership, as well as financial and practical complications have called into question the project's future.

While specific numbers on the exact proposals are not available in the provided resources, they do outline several key instances across history where a high-speed rail system in California has been proposed and worked upon.
