Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen announced $3 billion for a historic Brightline High-Speed Rail that will connect Las Vegas and Southern California.

I just learned about this a few minutes ago.

Sen. Rosen also says the initial goal of opening by 2028 — just in time for the U.S. Summer Olympics in Los Angeles — is still on track.

      God, California has to be one of the few US states I genuinely want to see succeed.

      Imagine just relaxing by watching diverse climate zones zoom by as you're on a train to get to LA if you live in Sacramento for a fraction of the price you would pay for a plane ticket, and then some time in your trip, you ride of the Surfliner and see beautiful coastline.
