China to Help Build Las Vegas-to-Los Angeles High-Speed Railway

[guno]

At least china will do it as congress has no interest in America's infrastructure



A unit of CCRC, China's largest train maker, has signed a deal to help build a high-speed bullet train railway linking Las Vegas and Los Angeles.


CRRC also last week broke ground on a factory in the U.S. that will manufacture trains for Boston's subway system as part of a $556 million deal that China CNR, now part of CRRC, won almost a year ago.

China to Help Build Las Vegas-to-Los Angeles High-Speed Railway

Great news! This would strengthen the economy, create jobs and be good for our country.

 

[Grandma]

Hopefully the rest of the country will learn from this example.

I'd love something better than Amtrak's limited operation.

 

[Mr. H.]

At least china will do it as congress has no interest in America's infrastructure

Like the Keystone XL pipeline?

 

[Spinster]

It won't create jobs for Americans, it will open a railway for immigration of hordes of Chinese. Their continent is so overpopulated they are looking to shift some bodies to our "frontier".

 

[tyroneweaver]

So who's doing the environmental impact study

 

[Pogo]

For the life o' me I can't understand why anyone in the world would want to intentionally go to Lost Wages Nevada. Me, I have to be paid to go there. A lot.

I believe we need better roads and aqueducts; and well regulated militias of the People.

Why not a high speed rail line between San Fransisco and Los Angeles?

This high speed railway will be an expensive boondoggle which will dump American dollars into Chinese hand. And the taxpayers will be expected to subsidize it. And no one is going to use it, because most people have cars in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and it will never be cheaper than a tankful of gas to get a train ticket.

You don't know or haven't experienced LA traffic. Many, many people there take public transportation because the congestion is overwhelming. It's cheaper than wasting a tank just sitting in jammed vehicles packed on the freeway at "rush" hour. Vegas has a much better road system because the casinos are supporting them through the high taxes they pay thanks to the gamblers' pocketbook.

How fitting an honor to the many Chinese that help build the original western rail system.

 

[Tank]

They have already started

Fifty full time jobs., according to the comp wanting it? Woohoo

I believe we merely need rail roads capable of 100 mph, minimum as a Standard fixed by our elected representatives.

Is the railways will be build by itself or by aliens from another planet just like where you came from?
Railway is from Los Angeles to Las Vegas not from Peking to Las Vegas unless you are talking about flying.

Right, because there was no way to get to Las Vegas.

It's not like you can buy a ticket on SouthWest for $59 and get there in 40 minutes from Ontario.

Hey, but the high speed rail will get you there in less than 3 hours and only cost $249 each way. People will flock to it...

 

[charwin95]

This is long overdue and its about time. Gov. Brown has been pushing this for a long time but he ran to several obstacles. Now the Chinese will invest their money and they will make money. This should be a good lesson to politicians her in California. If you don't do it someone else will do it for you.

Comrade, do you think man will ever learn to fly? If he does, do you think it might affect rail travel for passenger service?

But I can see why you Communists are excited. Now that it's 1880, building railroads is the modern thing to do.

Virgin flies LAX to LAS for $80 round trip.

What a fucking waste of time, effort and money to build a rail line no one will use

Moon beam is pushing a train from Bakersfield to Madera. We call it the "train to nowhere."

It is just a means to funnel billions in taxpayer money into the pockets of well connected looters.

Such is the nature of Communism.
