Brightline announced a deal with rail unions to build a 218-mile, high-speed line from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
The company plans to connect Las Vegas to Southern California via rail capable of traveling 200 mph.
Brightline hopes to break ground this year, and finish the system by the end of 2027.
