This is the kind of thing. Construction in CA is already more expensive than in most places, and every time they gave CAHSR an insufficient budget, it makes it take way longer and cost exponentially more in the long run
Great! At last, a Bright line idea in the Right direction to help the inhabitants of California. This transportation will surely boost travel rail system! Bravo! Californians!
Who wants to fly out of LAX to Vegas? The train will beat spending hours around and thru LAX. Drop the car off at Rancho C. Train to Vegas, shuttle to hotel. Very easy. 😊 also beats those caravans driving to / from on 15.
If you're coming from LA, what you describe would take the same amount of time as driving. No one is going to drive from LA to park in RC to take a train to Vegas. How much will the parking be? Will your car be safe, or will the Cat converter be gone once you get back to your car? And, on a Friday evening, it's a pain to drive to RC from LA. It's just not convenient.
Yeah so you want to take a 4+ hour train ride rather then a 45 min flight. I guess you can't fix stupid. I guess the internet has to have some trolls to promote the absurd agenda.
@@mrxman581Well, taking the San Bernardino Metrolink line from Union Station is also an option. It should be running at least every half hour by the time this is open. They may even eventually run through trains once they electrify that line. In the meantime, I am sure much of the ridership will probably start off to be mostly from the Inland Empire and other places east of Los Angeles.
@@Perich29being diesel is not actually the issue. The thing is, 125mph is the bare minimum to be considered high speed. Brightline in Florida can indeed reach a maximum of 125mph, but it does that in only 17% of its total distance.
I heard that Brightline is hiring companies like Siemens to built the First High Speed Rail in America so that’s good. Connecting Vegas to La, by I mean La, Rancho Cucamonga.
Hurray for Brightline! Looks like a great investment to me! Brightline shouldn't have any problem raising the money to complete this project. Congratulations to a forward looking organization.

Dear BDB: Brightline West has nothing to do with CA HSR as you did mention, BW is a Private semi HSR route and is privately owned, BW from Barstow CA to Las Vegas NV will be at HSR speeds, and there is no planned stop in the Barstow CA area for BW either(some property owners think there will be), from Barstow to Rancho Cucamonga not so much cause the fwy right of way is not as straight and what curves are there are too tight for more than maybe 80mph. CA HSR is not a failure, one can't just put down track like one does on a level carpeted surface inside a house with toy train tracks, outside is not level or prepared for rail, not even close, but then most don't know about construction as they are ignorant. CA HSR contractors have been building the subroadbed and now the roadbed (clinkers or large gravel) for the tracks and catenary to sit on, this year HSR is going to put up for bids to lay rail on the Initial Construction Segment, then they will push on to Merced and into Bakersfield as those segments are so far fully paid for. CA HSR has learned a lot, next time a contractor won't be spread so thin like in CP2-3.
I hope that Brightline builds a H.S. Rail line from LA to San Diego, running in the middle of the 5 and 405 freeways, maybe with a Monorail or Maglev . That should be fast and cheap. They could start ASAP and finish in time for the LA Olympics too.
@@kim.jong.skillz You understand how to erect your future. I have not met with anyone who thinks on these terms. Some gave negative opinions about why it could not be done. You are the first who said it can be done. That is successful thinking.
Trains, particularly high-speed trains, are very high maintenance. There isn't sufficient density between Los Vegas and LA to make this support itself without massive taxpayer support. Take a look at BART if you think I'm wrong. It has 1/2% local sales tax and is often in the red. So people love rail, especially if it goes where you want, but it is expensive along low-density routes. JMHO.
I get that higher pay in the USA makes construction expensive and also the higher quality control measures but still they really need to cut down costs. There has to be a way that they achieve it.
Each ticket to ride will pay for the project itself and expect to receive more money than it will receive from ticket sales. This will include expanding travel to any city in the future.
No, Amtrak previously had service to Vegas. It was called the Desert Wind. They eliminated that train in 1997 due to budget cuts and the fact that it party duplicated the Southwest Chief (both started in Los Angeles and ended in Chicago; they just took different routes to get there).
People in West Palm Beach Florida using the BL train to commute to Fort Lauderdale for work just about 47 miles each way just got a monthly ticket (40 one way trips) price increase. It was $399 and now it will be $1400.00. Enjoy the train.
The CA (not so) High Speed rail SHOULD HAVE been built in the middle of I-5 instead of the almost 100 miles out of the way line thats being built. And before everyone starts whining "what about the cities in the Central Valley?" What about them? Its SF to LA High Speed rail, not SF to San Jose to Gilroy to Los Banos to Merced to Madera to Fresno to Kingburg to Hanford to Visalia to Bakersfield to Tehachapi to Mojave to Lancaster Palmdale to Santa Clarita to Saugus to Van Nuys to Burbank to LA. Just saying.... Brightline will be built and running before ONE train on CA (not so) High Speed rail is run.
It is not exclusively a SF to LA service and never was. Plus, the Grapevine is too steep for high speed rail. You'd have to dig so many tunnels it would end up costing more and serve less places.
no not going into all those very populated cities are waste of potential. Bakersfield can benefit for being a small metro area that is bigger population than Tampa Florida. Also many commute to la from those cities all the time.
Including 4 million people was always part of the plan, the fact your small mind doesn't understand that inst surprising. Ya let's leave out a possible 4m customers. Genius. The fact you think it'll cost less to have to carve out tunnels shows you don't have 1 clue about this.
It’s ridiculous that you have to get ground transportation to the strip after arriving in Vegas. If the Vegas politicians weren’t blowing the taxi authorities, maybe we could get rail to the strip
Brightline is a much simpler project. Not fully double tracked, slower trains, fewer stations, reused right of way. Good for what it is, but a much smaller, simpler, cheaper project that does a lot less than the CHSR system intends to do. Perfect for a simple Vegas run, though.
Don't forget the two hours at the airport initially, as well as baggage claims and other airport BS at the end. Trains are way simpler, pull up to the station 15 minutes before the train leaves, and carry as much as you want on it. This is a legit alternative for people who hate flying, and prefer the simplicity and comfort of trains.
LA - SF: Connecting homeless and fentanyl users across California. Sorry, but OMG things have changed for the two once stellar cities. LA - LV makes perfect sense, particularly due to the sparsely populated route. Also, for a serious weekend bender in LV, train transport is nearly ideal with more time in your seat, and less time in check-in/security/boarding lines.
Who is going to be made responsible for this delay and multiplication of costs? We elect people to do a job and they get away free for the corruption and ineptitude.
CALIFORNIA is not building a second HSR, Brightline is. That is the difference. People will be riding LA to Vegas for many years before the first person ever rides from SF to LA. Government efficiency

Brightline will be completed and running WAY before CA state HSP has even completed a full station and is doing testing. Also, will be profitable while CAHSP will be a tax draining boondoggle. CAHSP was and is just a way to funnel money to prime democrat donors. Who's going to ride from Merced to Bakersfield? That's the only part that they claim to be done by 2030, which still won't happen. The delays AREN'T from right of way problems. They could've don the same as Brightline and built it along the 99 corridor from Sac to L.A. then split off to the Bay area from the Manteca area or even farther south. Or even run alone the I-5 corridor split off at Santa Nella to hwy 101 and then service the valley by bus connections from Modesto, Merced, Fresno and Bakersfield until spurs could be built to shuttle people to those stations. Both would've been cheaper and quicker to build.
So much of your comment is fantasy. BLW will not finish by 2028. Mark my word. Not even close. The single tracking of the vast majority of the route to save time and money is a huge mistake. They will realize it half way through and then double the cost and time estimates. The average speed will be around 100 mph because of the limitations of the si hle tracking and the huge steep grades along the route, especially at the El Cajon Pass and South of the Las Vegas Valley. They still haven't said how they will deal with the 6% grade for the Cajon Pass. No other HSR train in the world even comes close to navigating that kind of grade. The upper limit is 4%. BLW is definitely low balling the cost and time estimates to entice private investors. In fact, had they not gotten the $3 billion in federal funds and the additional $2.5 billion federal bonds, thos project wouldn't be happening.
Thank you! I see there is someone sensible in here as well. I think Altamont would've been a better route. The current structures could be the fillers. The route could be built over Tejon with minimal tunneling.
