Brightline in Florida completed rail there with all private funding. No reason it can't happen here. They got up and running in 4 years. Compared to Californias state funded rail its quite different.
The scale of the projects isn't the same but the outcomes sort of speak for themselves:
in florida you have the brightline rail. privately funded started construction 2014 and opened in 2018
in california you have the states CHSR plan, construction started 2015 after 6 years of reviews, and isn't slated to complete until 2029 at the earliest.
