The US and China just made a deal to build a high-speed rail, traveling at speeds of up to 150 mph, between LA and Las Vegas. Passengers will be there in 80 minutes, compared to an average highway drive time of about 4 hours.
XpressWest to jointly build and run the project, will also provide a foundation for high speed rail infrastructure in the Southwest Corridor.
According to the company, high speed rail represents the future of sustainable, green, high capacity and efficient transportation in the United States.
