Worth mentioning is CAHSR paid for half the electrification of CalTrain.

Also the Phase II BART extension that will take BART to downtown San Jose, the high speed rail station at Diridon and to Santa Clara.

Above link says construction to start this year and take 12 years. So eventually you'll have CalTrain, CAHSR and BART as connected system.

A good point is the projects are being rolled out they way they are due to funding constraints and a desire provide ongoing side benefits, like the electrified CalTrain and the grade separation projects in the central valley. (Every over pass over the existing rail is a benefit).
