Brightline West plans to build a $12-billion, 218-mile high-speed rail line from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, aiming for faster travel than its Florida train. The proposed bullet train has sparked doubts about its practicality and appeal, with concerns raised about the $400 ticket price and the inconvenience of the route not starting in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Salt Lake City is positioning itself as a potential hub for rail routes to Los Angeles and Seattle.
