Brightline West is set to begin construction as early as this summer, 2024. Now is the perfect time to check out what this high speed rail route might look like when construction is done! I have utilized Unreal Engine 5, various assets, Brightline West environmental assessments, and environmental impact statements to render, in glorious 3D, a best guess as to what Brightline West will look like when you ride it! So buy your ticket and hop on board. We're heading to Vegas!
Brightline West is a proposed high speed rail project that will run from Rancho Cucamonga, CA near Los Angeles to just south of the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. It is supposed to be done and ready to operate before the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
