More news re: high-speed. Via the AP, today U.S. Senator Harry Reid and California Department of Transportation Director Will Kempton announced that the SoCal-Las Vegas route has been designated a federal high-speed rail corridor, "a designation that endorses the viability of high-speed train travel in the region," according to the AP, and makes funding easier to secure. Additionally, Reid told the Las Vegas Sun that the DesertXpress train to Victorville, a private project, is moving forward. "Officials hope to break ground in the first quarter of next year, with the project expected to be completed two years later." [AP/Las Vegas Sun]
