Today, Brightline West officially broke ground on the nation's first true high-speed rail system which will connect Las Vegas to Southern California. The 218 mile system will expand Brightline’s vision to connect city pairs that are too short to fly and too far to drive. The greenest way to get there.\xa0 Hailed as the greenest form of transportation in the world, Brightline West will run zero emission, fully electric trains capable of speeds of 200 miles per hour. This is a watershed project for high-speed rail in America and will establish the foundation for the creation of a new industry and supply chain. |
