^ IOS is to San Francisco I believe. Caltrain electrification will extend from SF to Tamien in south SJ, then CHSRA will electrify the remainder of the Caltrain corridor to Gilroy where it will connect to the new Pacheco Pass line. The Caltrain corridor will absolutely be a place where the high-speed trainset runs on legacy tracks, albeit newly-electrified ones, at a slower speed, up to 4th/King.

That line across Pacheco, BTW, will not be easy or cheap. An increase in costs is inevitable for that segment which contains many miles of tunnel crossing active fault lines.
