It’s no HyperLoop TT, but Brightline West is now America’s first high-speed rail project. Connecting Las Vegas and Southern California, this 218-mile passenger rail service will reach speeds of up to 200 mph with no grade crossings and within the median of the I-15 highway.
There are set to be three full-service rail stations in Las Vegas, Victor Valley and Rancho Cucamonga, California. Most importantly, the Las Vegas station will have mobility connections and provide access to the Las Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium and the Las Vegas Convention Center. Construction is expected to begin in early 2024, with revenue service starting some time during 2027.

Brightline West’s $12 billion project will bring widespread benefits including more than $10 billion in economic impact to Nevada and California. Economic studies show the project will create more than 35,000 (direct and indirect) jobs including 10,000 direct union construction jobs and nearly 1,000 permanent jobs for operations and maintenance,” said Brightline.
