YesSo the existing Coast Starlight route?
Would SP have been willing to sell for a reasonable and fair price?SP coast line which may have gotten bought by the state, SF/Oakland to LA and eventually to SD.
Lots of realignment work along with likely ITCS would have been used.
Well that's at about 11 hours for the Starlight with an average speed around 40 mph.
SP had offered it up, thats how LA metro and VCTC bought their segmentsWould SP have been willing to sell for a reasonable and fair price?

Could they actually get the average speed on that route up to 80?
Highly unlikely. The experience of dealing with SP then UP was a significant factor in choosing that the HSR parallel the BNSF where practical, despite the ex SP route being in general straighter and better serving the city centers.Would SP have been willing to sell for a reasonable and fair price?
