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.

California loves its toys, no doubt.

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?

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.

cause one or two trains a day is soooo much more convenient than almost hourly fights back and forth... right?

China partnering? Perhaps they view this more as investing for the future.

Are they going to use BNSF/UP track or try to squeeze a third track through the Mojave Narrows? Good luck with that.

Just what we need. Maybe they can tie it in to Moonbeam’s train to nowhere.

Foreigners are buying our businesses and investing in, well, everything here because we don’t.

This is dangerous.

Roundtrip flights cost about $75 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
Tripadvisor: There are 102 daily flights from Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, NV
Average flying time for a direct flight from Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, NV is 1 hour 16 minutes

No train can compete. Not even close. Same for that non high speed train to nowhere from LA to San Francisco. Follow the money to the gov’t leaders and back to China. Keep in mind that people’s lives are cheap in China so what dead Americans in train accidents to them?
