Las Vegas to Los Angeles in two hours will become a rail reality in 2028
Quick Glance: Building Commences on High-Speed Rail Line Between Sin City and City of Angels
  • Work is set to begin on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.

  • Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

  • The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.

  • The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.

Quick Glance: South Korea's High-Speed Train Project Aims to Boost Birthrate
  • South Korea is launching a high-speed train service to reduce travel time between central Seoul and its outskirts.

  • Officials are pinning their hopes on the Great Train eXpress (GTX) project to encourage more youth to live outside the city and start families.

  • The GTX will be one of the fastest underground systems globally, with trains reaching speeds of up to 180 km/h.

  • However, experts warn that the GTX could lead to further decline in rural areas as more people are drawn into the already overcrowded capital.
