Rail spikes hammered, bullet train being built from Sin City to the City of Angels

chicagotribune.com/2024/04/22/rail-spikes-hammered-bullet-train-being-built-from-sin-city-to-the-city-of-angels/

Quick Glance: Building Commences on High-Speed Rail Line Between Sin City and City of Angels

Work is set to begin on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.

Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.

The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.
