Unfortunately, my understanding is that there's no existing rail connection to St. George. I'm guessing they're planning to use the ROW that Desert Wind used to run, which bypasses both Cedar City and St. George and passes through Milford and Caliente instead. The "Intermountain Corridor" would likewise probably follow the old Pioneer route to Boise via Pocatello.
The Utah Rail Passengers Association is advocating for
a state-sponsored Amtrak regional network to connect with Cedar City, Logan, and Moab but that's just an idea at this point. Even they don't have St. George connected via rail.
