High Speed Train from Apple Valley to Las Vegas

Brightline (formerly Virgin Trains) is rolling into Apple Valley

Brightline West has acquired property in the newly annexed area of Apple Valley near Dale Evans Parkway for a high-speed rail station that will connect Southern California to Las Vegas.

According to Brightline West, the project is expected to break ground in 2025 and could begin moving passenger in 2028.

Construction of the rail line is expected to bring more than 10,000 jobs in addition to more than 500 permanent jobs that will be created once the line is established. Similar to their south Florida rail stations, the Apple Valley station is expected to attract transit-oriented commercial and residential development in the surrounding area.

Additionally, California State Treasurer Fiona Ma indicates the project will create more than 1,200 housing units; and O’Malley estimates it will inject $2.13 billion into California’s economy including $275 million in federal, state and local tax revenue.

The high-speed electric train will move passengers from Apple Valley to Las Vegas in about 90 minutes at speeds greater than 150 miles per hour removing as many as 4.5 million cars from traveling 811 million miles on Interstate 15 annually.

“This is one of those once in a lifetime projects that will bring jobs and economic growth to not only Apple Valley but the entire Victor Valley region and help expand infrastructure into north Apple Valley, paving the way for residential, commercial and industrial growth at the north end of town along the I-15 corridor in exciting new ways,” said Apple Valley Town Manager Doug Robertson.
