. . . for DesertXpress to build and operate a 190-mile high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Southern California that could create more than 32,000 Nevada jobs.

I could jump tall buildings in a single bound if I were Superman, too!! I might be a gazillionaire if I am Bill Gates!!

What a load of BS!!!

The mail airport at las Vegas handled 31,229,925 passengers in the last year.

You'd need 68 High Speed Rail Trains per day to handle that load ~ and then most of the passengers would find it necessary to get to an airport to go elsewhere in the country anyway.

Rail is a concept whose time has come, and for the most part, gone. Today we use automobiles and aircraft in this country for passenger traffic.
