"South Pacific Coast from Los Gatos to Olympia (Felton). .......probably the most expensive ROW in the world along the most active earthquake zone known."
It would take most of Bill Gate's fortune just to buy the land for the ROW.

"Then there was a certain Las Vegas Loonie I know wanting to rebuild the C&C out near Candelaria, NV."
If it was up to me I'd only rebuild a little portion of the C&C. Just the branch from Mound House to Keeler.

From what I know, most all of the California ROW is intact, and quite a bit of the Nevada side is reclaimable. Thoe large strected in Nevada would have to be re-graded due to farmers ripping their land, and the ROW, flat.
