    CALIFORNIA on Tuesday will break ground in Fresno on its ambitious but controversial high-speed rail project, marking another milestone for Governor Jerry Brown and for foreign manufacturers waiting to bid on lucrative train contracts.

    The United States lags behind Europe and Asia in building both high-speed rail and its trains. The 800-mile (1,287-km) high-speed rail is expected to be the legacy project for Mr Brown, whose unprecedented fourth inauguration will take place the day before the ground-breaking on Monday.
