Thanks BOB2, that's why I asked. I'm not an insider (as I have remarked before), just an interested observer. I'd like to see something in the LA-Indio corridor, and would think that the local casinos (Morongo, Agua Caliente, Fantasy Springs, et al) might have reason to support that sort of operation, much the same way that Las Vegas would probably like to see a return of LA-Las Vegas passenger trains, especially with the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. A station at the south end of the Strip would lend itself to game day special trains, as well as being in the thick of where most Vegas-bound tourists are going anyway. Years ago David P. Morgan opined that perhaps the Vegas casinos underwrote the Las Vegas Holiday Special, although I have seen nothing to support that one way or the other.
