Stuck in low gear, Las Vegas high-speed train project is now moving forward [Los Angeles Times]
The last time a California railroad conductor hailed “all aboard for Las Vegas” was more than 20 years ago, after lines such as the Desert Wind, the Crapshooters Express and the Fun Train failed to attract riders.

But in recent weeks, a more concrete proposal by Florida-based XpressWest for Las Vegas train service has quietly advanced. The privately-held firm has taken key steps to secure private debt funding under bond programs operated by California, Nevada and the federal government.

If the chips fall the right way, the $4.8-billion project should have full funding for a 170-mile line along Interstate 15 and start construction later this year with trains running by 2023, the company told The Times.

The plan calls for a high-speed electric train system from Apple Valley in the California high desert to Las Vegas, almost entirely with private funding.

XpressWest is a unit of Florida East Coast Industries, which operates the Brightline passenger rail system from Miami to West Palm Beach. FECI is owned by private investment funds managed by New York City-based Fortress Investment Group. The Las Vegas line would be marketed as Virgin Trains, a brand of airline and space tourist entrepreneur Richard Branson, though he has no investment in the train.


The project is getting deep support in the economically depressed San Bernardino County high desert, including Apple Valley, Victorville, Adelanto and Hesperia.

. . . train to spur 600 permanent jobs and thousands of new homes in the region.

“We have all heard about the governor’s train to nowhere,” Bishop said about the California bullet train, “but that isn’t this project.”

Proponents hope that the Las Vegas line would eventualy be extended from Apple Valley to Palmdale, where it could link up to the existing Metrolink line or even the California bullet train if that is ever built.

The state bullet train authority is taking 15 years to build a 171-mile partial operating system from Bakersfield to Merced by 2028 for $20.4 billion.

The XpressWest line — if everything goes as planned — would be the same distance and completed in three years at one-fourth the cost.

The Apple Valley station would be a difficult one hour or longer drive through heavy congestion for most Los Angelenos and the Vegas station would be five miles south of The Strip.


The average fare, they say, would be $60, and travel time about 80 minutes to 90 minutes. The train could hit top speeds of 180 mph, though it would average about 120 mph.

It would beat the best possible drive time by about an hour and possibly two to three hours when the highway is packed.

Passengers could check into their hotels at the Apple Valley train station and their bags would be waiting in their room when they arrived.


There wouldn’t be any gambling on the train, but drinks would be available. Cocktail hour would begin as soon as the wheels started moving.

Anyone know how to build an underground moonshine still? Asking for a friend who needs hand sanitizer.


YouTube is your friend...Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes

Maybe Winking face

Gotta support local businesses tell me when it's ready Woozy face

You hear about the lady who made it herself, used it before cooking, then turned on her gas stove top and her hands caught on fire? Flushed face

My boyfriend’s family has been making wine and moonshine for a few generations. His family’s in Ohio though, and I don’t think they’re sharing their “secret methods” lol

I have an electric hot plate I'd like to donate to the still project.

First you need to buy a banjo.
