        No, he legitimately didn’t want that specific HSR plan to happen and wanted to get it stopped.

        He thought it was going to be to expensive, slow and already be outdated by the time it was finally built.

        There are already faster trains being built today and he wanted them to do something better.

        Most people turn that into he is 100% against high speed rail and make it a conspiracy about wanting to sell more cars.

        We won’t ever know the truth.

      He did it to kill that specific plan.

      He wanted something better.

      You can either take him at his word, or fall into the conspiracy camp of selling more cars, but thats the 2 options you get.
