"The company behind a planned high-speed rail line from Las Vegas to Victorville, California, is putting on the brakes until at least 2022.

Brightline West said Monday that it will wait until next year to request private activity bonds from Nevada and California that are essential for funding the project..."

Translation: Will probably never happen. Anytime there is no firm construction date or any real solid committed plan or timeline, it's all glorified horse manure. Earlier this year they were saying how it would start second quarter, blah blah blah with no definite timeline or start date. Something didn't surprise me in the slightest when I saw this announcement. We are being strung along, nothing more. Which is huge shame since I really want to see the US develop high speed projects as seen in other parts of the world including here in Asia and in Europe rather than just keep talking about it and going absolutely nowhere literally.
