It would complete the 185-mile route in 80 minutes.
Unfortunately, this train would still require people to drive from LA to Victorville, where the bulk of heavy southern California traffic exists.
Victorville is about 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
Construction will reportedly begin in 1-2 years.

Why can't they build a hypertube from LA area to Vegas? Come on, Sheldon! Open the mega-mogul wallet and do something good with all that cash you have instead of wasting it on politics!

Lord, you really deserve a "shut up Garrett" now, but i can't do it because i feel sorry for you
if the British National Health provides therapy for self loathing, make an appointment and get some help--like Tyde, your relentless bashing is a cover up for severe inferiority feelings (the only difference between you and him is the target: him PFAer's; you America)
and I am going to help you as well! the next time the Jehovah Witness comes to my door, I am going to give them $5 and ask for the to pray for you---so feel better, help is on the way from the land you envy

Haha oh fuck, is that you Gordo?
therapy--relentless--Jehovah Witness--envy--self loathing--America--$5--help
You got done there, old boy.
So the construction will begin just when they start a new expansion of Cajon Pass and shut down many lanes at various times during the day.....Brilliant planning.
If they really want to help people's commutes between LA and Vegas, they will find a way to fix the horrendous traffic jam which occurs at Primm (40 miles south of Vegas, at the CA border) every Sunday.
If you look on your traffic map every Sunday, starting from about 11am, you will see something like a 10-15 mile bumper-to-bumper jam which causes delays of up to 2 hours.
Not a fun way to return from Vegas, especially if you lost money (and let's face it -- you probably did!)
This same thing used to happen where the 40 and 15 met in Barstow, but they fixed it.
Now it's at Primm, and it seems like nobody gives a shit, and we're just supposed to accept that's how it's going to be from now on.
I believe it's because a lane temporarily gets lost before it goes back to 3 lanes when you reach the hill.
So why can't they just make it 3 lanes between the state line and the hill? I think that would probably fix it. There is plenty of room to do so.
Maybe it's intentionally being left this way so everyone supports a rail project.
Most likely just dumb planning. SB loses a lane at the exit at Primm, then the vehicles leaving the casinos and heading to Cali also has to merge into the SB traffic. So it's almost like 4 lanes into 2. This sat pic isn't even taken late in the day, the traffic is sort of heavy anyway.If they really want to help people's commutes between LA and Vegas, they will find a way to fix the horrendous traffic jam which occurs at Primm (40 miles south of Vegas, at the CA border) every Sunday.
