The proposed high speed train between Las Vegas and Southern California continues its track toward becoming a reality as the Golden State has approved a $3.25 billion bond request to go toward the $4.8 billion project.
The board of directors of the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) on Wednesday approved a bond request on behalf of Virgin Trains USA that will go toward constructing 135 miles of rail lines in California as well as a passenger and maintenance facility in the Victor Valley region.
