Geographically the route could be challenging,especially between Eugene and Sacramento. However between Seattle and Eugene the route could run parallel to the 5 or on its own right of way along existing track. Between the Eugene and Sacramento the route could be tunneled and bridges can be built to bypass mountain,rivers and valleys. It's not impossible.
