A huge amount of new information has dropped about the Brightline West high speed rail project between southern California and Las Vegas. Recently, Brightline West prepared for a bond offering which will enable heavy construction of the HSR project to start. The memorandum for this bond offer is 1200 pages and though most of it is financial legalese, there is plenty of information about Brightline West as a service and construction project. This is the perfect way to set up coverage of construction and to get you as ready as possible for what comes next. This is a ground breaking new project that promises to move people by train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in about 3 hours, which would be nearly three times as fast as previous passenger rail and faster than driving in most cases. Climb aboard and let's take a look at the route from end to end.
