This makes a lot more sense than the existing Train To Nowhere project in CA.

The Chinese built much of the last railway out of California.

The Chinese have a long history of building railroads in California! Maybe it’s a ‘heritage’ thing...

Is this a vital commerce route or something?

Let’s send more people to a desert citey to which water must be imported.
Lake Mead is pretty tapped out.
Are all those people going to bring water with them?
Four passenger cars, one tank car?

Is this a vital commerce route or something? It is for the Las Vegas casinos.

I would like to see Chinese “Best Management Practices” in a project like that.
Corrupt managers get taken to the ditch and shot, or get mobbed and beat up by their employees.

Drive 1.5-2 hours to get on a train? Why not just keep going the last fourish hours to Vegas? Idiots. Least take the dang thing out to Lancaster and meet up with the Metrolink train.
Not only do you hit more retirees who might want to hop a train to go gamble in Vegas (as well as more young couples who might want to weekend it out there), but you actually reach some industry and corporations who might also use the route.
I guess the only positive is that they skip the San Andreas fault zone by ending in Victorville - then again, there's more inland faults that can cause significant damage along that route.

Estimated final cost of the train to nowhere in the desert is $120 billion. I have been tracking this scam for years now. For $120 billion you could purchase a new Toyota for each and every family unit in California or even better, build enough desalination plants to meet all of California’s domestic water needs. Fienstien’s husband is prime contractor. Jerry Brown is also part of the scam. The same Jerry Brown talking about running for Dem president in 2016
