The high-speed train connection to Los Angeles is a decades-old dream for Las Vegas, but California has something bigger in mind. And they're almost ready to start laying temporary track.

California and transportation officials met near Bakersfield to celebrate a high-speed rail system to connect the Golden State with Nevada.

Track construction on California's high-speed rail system can begin after a lengthy preparation phase, according to Governor Gavin Newsom.

California’s high-speed rail project faces pushback from the incoming Trump administration. But state leaders on Monday expressed their resolve that it would one day connect Los Angeles to the Bay Area and possibly link to another high-speed rail line between Southern California and Las Vegas.

California's ongoing High Speed Rail project will begin rail line construction in the coming months, Gov. Gavin Newsom said as he visited Kern County on Monday.
