I think the original Prop 1 bill [1] lays out maximum nonstop travel time targets between major cities to be delivered, and a requirement to be able to bypass any station at "mainline operating speed", (which I strongly believe is an engineering detail that has no place in law), but not a requirement to actually have some trains on the books that will proceed through Fresno without a stop.
The spirit of your post stands nonetheless; the Prop 1 bill codified a bunch of ambitious requirements ahead of time, ignorant of local conditions or engineers' opinion.
