The only private passenger rail company in the U.S. thinks it may finally start building its $8 billion high-speed L.A.-to-Vegas train in 2023.
Brightline plans to have electric trains operating at speeds of up to 200 mph between Los Angeles and Las Vegas by about 2026.Brightline, the only private passenger rail company in the U.S., could begin construction of its high-speed train from Las Vegas by early 2023 as U.S. regulators start reviewing an extension that would connect it to a Los Angeles suburb.
If the Brightline West project receives final federal approval, the Miami-based company could apply for potential low-interest funding options for high-speed rail included in the recently approved U.S. infrastructure program. Details of the types of federal support for private rail projects haven’t yet been released. The company estimates construction of the 265-mile, electrified railway from Rancho Cucamonga to Las Vegas will cost $8 billion and take three years to complete.
Brightline West plans to build a rail station in Rancho Cucamonga, a Los Angeles suburb, where passengers would transfer from Metrolink commuter trains.The additional segment under review, with overhead electric lines, includes stations Brightline would build in Rancho Cucamonga, adjacent to an existing Metrolink station, and Hesperia, California. “The trip between Victor Valley and Rancho Cucamonga would be approximately 35 minutes,” according to the Transportation Department.
