This grant amount is enough to build 39 miles of HSR based on California's project costs. That's 39 miles of rail for the entire nation. I'm not sure you can qualify this as a 'start'. More than likely, this money will be completely wasted as it isn't enough to do anything especially when you spread it out over 50 different states, which would equate to 4,000 feet of track, or 3/4 mile, per state.
