Fresno is a proposed California High-Speed Rail station in Fresno, California. The station is part of the system's Initial Construction Segment, and the groundbreaking ceremony for the system was held at the station site on January 6, 2015.[1] The station will be located in Downtown Fresno at H Street between Fresno Street and Tulare Street, and is about 7 blocks south from the existing Fresno Amtrak station. The high-speed rail line runs along the right-of-way of the Union Pacific Railroad at this location.[2] Several existing industrial and office buildings in the vicinity had to be demolished to make way for the station and tracks.[3] The station is expected to spur new development in Downtown Fresno.[4]
