"Major Funding Secured for High-Speed Electric Train Linking Los Angeles and Las Vegas"

The Biden Administration has granted $3 billion in federal funding to Brightline West, a high-speed bullet train project connecting Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The planned route will traverse the Nevada desert at 186mph, completing the journey in just two hours. The funding covers approximately one-third of the $12 billion project cost. Brightline, the only private passenger rail company in the US, aims to become the first to complete a high-speed, electric-powered train in the country. The project is expected to be completed by 2028 and will create thousands of jobs while reducing traffic and carbon emissions.
