WELCOME
DesertXpress is an interstate high-speed rail (HSR) project that will link Las Vegas, Nevada and Southern California with standard gauge fully electric high speed trains. The project will run primarily adjacent to Interstate 15. A designated Corridor of the Future, I-15 is the only freeway between Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California.
DesertXpress will provide non-stop service for the approximate 190 miles between Victorville, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Trains will travel between the two cities in approximately 80-minutes at speeds initially reaching 150 mph. A future link between Victorville, California and Palmdale, California will connect Las Vegas and the voter-approved California High Speed Rail network with planned Southern California stations in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and San Bernardino Counties.
DesertXpress is one of a few key projects across the country that will provide a foundation for high speed rail infrastructure. High speed rail represents the future of sustainable, green, high capacity and efficient transportation in the United States. Through private sector investment, DesertXpress meets America’s need for passenger rail infrastructure with a system that promises interoperability and regional connectivity.
