If We Built It Today (2019)
Sloppy assumptions

I watched the episodes on high speed railroads. The amount of tunneling between Denver and Salt Lake City was way overstated because big swaths of western Colorado and eastern Utah are basically flat.
Also, there are minimal flights between Denver and SLC. SLC isn't a big enough of a city to worry about for high speed rail. Would make more sense for the route to be most direct to Vegas on the way to LA.
That building it today would mean a transcontinental railroad to LA, not to Northern California.
