A LA-LV train could be viable if it were properly marketed. I would envision 2 roundtrips per week, one aimed at the weekend visitor and the other a midweek run. Intermediate stops at San Bernardino and maybe Riverside. I think a crew change stop at Barstow might be necessary. Vegas is hurting for visitors now. Maybe the State of Nevada could come up with some cash for a proper Vegas depot site. Money would also have to be found to upgrade parts of UP's route (i.e. Cima Hill). This train should NOT be part of the Amtrak network. Operation could be by a bi-state agency contracting with a private operator or even Amtrak. Just my 2-cents worth.
