Source - NewsweekThe construction team behind Brightline West, an exciting new high-speed rail line planned to connect Las Vegas, Nevada, to Rancho Cucamonga in Southern California, is sharing some promising news: they are “getting close” to kicking off the construction phase! Unlike many advanced countries, the U.S. currently lacks any operational high-speed rail lines—marked by speeds of at least 155 miles per hour on specially built tracks. For comparison, China boasts nearly 30,000 miles of high-speed rail in operation.
