X-Train: Las Vegas Railway Express / United Rail

I love this picture:


They've got 2022 and then January-September of "2023-2025". What does that mean exactly? lol

This whole scheme appears an effort to get Brightline to buy them out at a quick profit to prevent competition.

This is just as bad as "Boston Surface RR" scam !!!!! Run away from this scam

All these proposals and tourist lines based around gallery cars! With all those cars, we could set up Las Vegas commuter rail

5 1/2 hours * 79 miles/hour = 434 miles. <750, so Amtrak won't pay for it, it will have to be state subsidized or make a real profit. At $500 or $1.15 / passenger-mile if there is a reasonable number of passengers it should easily earn a profit even with complementary food, beverage and music. So why are they bringing in Amtrak? I assume negotiations with the host railroad(s) have broken down and they want to contract for Amtrak crews to use Amtrak's power to demand access. And Amtrak sees this as a rare opportunity to make some coin and improve economy of scale
