Revisit what I wrote...

They have enough cash on hand to finish what is essentially the trunk of the HSR network (SAC/SF-LA, and SF/SAC-Anaheim, SF/SAC-SD all rely on that 300+mi trunk in the CV), which is why it is being built first...

The only question is what the cost of the tunnels under Pacheco will cost. Either it's included in the existing construction package 4-5, or they will stop at Gilry in the interim and finish the tunnels to San Jose, afterwards -- having cash inflow from operations will certainly help.
