News Highlights: With a revised plan, Brightline looks at Apple Valley’s groundbreaking 2021 rail project
Brightline West’s high-speed train project between Apple Valley and Las Vegas, expected to break ground last year, appears to be back on track six months after a partnership with Virgin Trains USA ended.
