"US Rail System Receives Massive Funding Boost for Modernization and Expansion"
The Biden administration is unveiling major rail investments in the United States, including the country's first high-speed train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, with the aim of doubling passenger numbers on America's railways by 2040. The $66 billion allocated for passenger trains is the largest sum since the formation of Amtrak in 1971. The funding will support the creation of new rail lines, extension of existing ones, renovation of stations, and the introduction of faster and more comfortable trains. The goal is to transform the outdated and limited rail network into a modern and efficient system.
