The
X Train Announces Its Logistics
Plan
to Open LA to Vegas on the Western Alignment
|
Las
Vegas, NV – October 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / The Las Vegas Railway
Express, Inc. (OTCQB: XTRN), known as the Vegas
X Train, with planned luxury train travel service between Los Angeles
and Las Vegas, announced today it has begun the engineering of the route
to Las Vegas via conventional rail on what it calls the Western Alignment.
The original plan by the X Train was to traverse the Cajon Pass to Barstow
and then north to Las Vegas. As capacity on that route became restricted,
X Train reached out to UNLV’s Rail Engineering program headed by Dr. Harry
Teng to plan the logistics of an alternative route to Las Vegas. The UNLV
plan is consistent with the RTC’s plan of 2007 which shows access to Las
Vegas via rail from the west rather than via the heavily trafficked Cajon
Pass.
“We
have spent the last year re-tooling our efforts to run the X Train service
between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and based on the findings of UNLV’s Rail
Engineering Group, have concluded that the route from LA to Mojave to Barstow
to Las Vegas would avoid the rail traffic of the Cajon Pass,” stated Michael
Barron, CEO of the X Train. “We have reached out to local and statewide
support for this project and have found a number of our representatives
who are energized about assisting in opening this third corridor of travel
to Las Vegas,” Barron said.
“We
are right on track with our planned route between LA to Vegas and now we
are going to incorporate the Club X class service to existing passenger
trains. This will make train travel much more enjoyable again.”
