High-Speed Rail Linking SoCal and Las Vegas Set for 2028 Launch

Brightline West's all-electric train promises a two-hour journey with luxurious amenities, backed by $3 billion in federal funding.

Brightline West will connect Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, California, with stops in Victor Valley and Hesperia.
The train will travel at speeds up to 200 mph, halving the travel time compared to driving.
Construction began in April 2024, with the goal of completing the project by the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The rail line will feature a 'party car' with lounge seating, a bar, and bold fuchsia interiors.
A federal lawsuit challenges the contract awarded to Siemens for train production, but work continues.
