Ah, trains. They're only really affordable when you can simply wrest the right-of-ways from poorly organized indigents. Otherwise, they rarely make any sense.

100 billion? Oh man! That amount of money is beyond my ability to comprehend. Like, can't we start a colony on the moon for that much? Probably not but that's just how mind boggling it is to me.
Why so much? Didn't we build trains all across the country?

Of course it does, it's the only way for the project to get started. If the truth about the project costs was told outright there would be too many opposers and the rich people wouldn't get to build their shiny trains.
