The Hydrocut's facebook page recently linked to an upcoming information session by a group called intercityrail.org, which seems to be an anti-HSR group.

The group is showing mapping that seems to suggest the route may pass directly through the Hydrocut along the hydro corridor. This routing they show makes no sense for HSR as it would be force trains to slow down significantly for tight turns and there is a perfectly good straight rail right-of-way there already. Does anyone know if this map they are showing has any legitimacy, or is it just something that someone drew to drum up community opposition? The Hydrocut is a gem and I don't want it sacrificed for HSR, but I am extremely skeptical that it is in any kind of jeopardy.
