High-speed electric train connecting Las Vegas and California
"Brightline’s high-speed passenger train between South Florida and Orlando has hosted more than 1.4 million passengers since the beginning of 2024 alone, providing an easy, low-emission option for traveling a distance that’s a significant drive but too short to justify flying. And now, the company is preparing to bring its rail service to the other coast: construction broke ground in April 2024 on Brightline West, a route that will connect Las Vegas to California with stations in Apple Valley, Hesperia, and Rancho Cucamonga, where passengers can connect and travel on to Los Angeles. The new train, which will be all-electric (compared to the diesel-electric trains in Florida), will run much of its route on the median of Interstate 15. Its completion is projected for 2028, just in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles."
"Brightline's new California to Nevada high-speed train will receive up to $3 billion in government funding to help build an intercity passenger rail system between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga, California. Reaching speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, the new train will take just two hours—nearly half the time it takes to drive between the two cities."
