Bakersfield Rail Station Moves Again

Bakersfield’s high-speed rail station just got another relocation—this time five miles north to a farmland spot near Seventh Street, dubbed a “temporary” stop, with a 2033 opening target. The move, the third location change, stems from a $35.7 billion budget crunch for the Merced-to-Bakersfield segment. Locals are frustrated, doubting the project’s finish line, while critics like the Kern County Taxpayers Association warn it’s sabotaging downtown revitalization plans. With funding woes and a history of shifting goals, the future of this ambitious rail dream remains uncertain. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
