All six of Nevada’s elected federal lawmakers and four House members from California support a proposal to spend $10 billion to lay tracks.
asked the Biden administration Monday to fast-track federal funds for a private company to build a high-speed rail line between Rancho Cucamonga and Las Vegas.
Brightline West is seeking $3.75 billion in federal funding from the Biden administration-backed federal infrastructure law. The company and the Southern Nevada Building Trades Union announced in recent weeks that union labor will be used during construction. Brightline is the only privately owned and operated intercity passenger railroad in the United States.
Other places where high-speed trains have been proposed include the 240 miles from Dallas to Houston in Texas, and a 500-mile system linking Los Angeles and San Francisco. Completion of the California line depends on funding and other unknowns. Nevada’s senior U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, and the four House members including Republican Mark Amodei signed the letter seeking federal-state partnership funding through the Federal Railroad Administration’s Intercity Rail Grant Program.
