CALIFORNIA-LAS VEGAS RAIL ROUTE GETS FEDERAL DESIGNATION

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood announced today that the California High Speed Rail corridor has been extended to include Las Vegas.

The designation could help the two competing rail projects — the privately run DesertXpress and publicly funded California Super Speed Maglev train — apply for funding or loans.
