We have railroads. The three trips listed by the previous poster all include LAX. LA is surrounded by mountains. The train from LA to SF takes ten hours. The flight is one. California has been trying to build a high speed rail to connect LA to the Bay Area for a long time now, but it's projected to cost 30 billion dollars and the timeline is ridiculous. Last I understood, the project has been shelved indefinitely.

HSR construction is definitely still ongoing: https://buildhsr.com

That being said, I don't believe the full SF->LA project is funded, and absent a more cooperative Federal government, it might never be.
