Yup looks like AMTRAK has taken over a large part of the plan, question is do they have any skin in the game? It would be great if the did. From the year end 2018 financials.

“We expect to operate the X Train as an Amtrak train listed on the Amtrak national timetable. Amtrak will provide the locomotives, crew and railcars for the project. X Train will provide a complete bundled package of services including ticket, rooms and transfers to & from the station and weekend events such as access to nightclubs, golf outings and restaurants. It will be scheduled as a Friday through Sunday service with passengers in Los Angeles boarding the train at Union Station and arriving at the station in downtown Las Vegas and leased and operated by the X Train. Only the X Train will be able to use our station in Las Vegas. A typical X Train will carry 11 passenger cars and will include food service and will carry on average, 700 passengers per trip. This number can be increased by adding more cars to the route.”

“To commence commercial service of the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route, we will need to negotiate and secure the necessary rights, equipment and facilities by August 2019. These items include: securing a regularly scheduled train agreement from Amtrak to operate our excursion service on a weekly basis beginning with one round trip train per week and increasing to six round trips per week over the next several years as demand dictates, securing operating rights to run our trains over tracks owned by private railroads, obtaining the capability to operate train equipment safely and in conformity with applicable government regulations, and purchasing or leasing appropriate locomotive and passenger cars designed to move passengers over the route in comfort and securing leases on terminal facilities and passenger depots in Los Angeles and in Las Vegas. We expect the X Train to begin running in January 2020. We will operate as a railroad under Amtrak’s national entitlement common carrier status.”

“Accordingly, the Company plans to operate an excursion passenger rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The service will operate as an Amtrak train on the Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF railroad and Metrolink railroad under Amtrak's access entitlement. The X Train will be stored in Amtrak's 8 th Street yard in Los Angeles and the consist will be assembled there by Amtrak switching engines. Each consist will be made up eleven Amtrak passenger railcars deployed specifically for this service. Each railcar will be retrofitted with a Las Vegas motif. Each train will consist of 11 railcars with a total capacity of approximately 444 passengers.

Arrival into Las Vegas is planned to be at the train station in downtown Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel.

At arrival, passengers will disembark the rail cars and immediately board a limo or tour bus provided by Greyhound under an agreement with them to take them to the property where they are staying. All accommodations and activities planned for the weekend stay will be booked via the X Train booking center in Las Vegas, Club X. Weekend VIP and club hop services will be coordinated through our Club X service ( www.clubxtrain.com ) for niteclub and outings. Passengers will be picked up at their hotels on Sunday at noon for a 2 pm departure back to Los Angeles Union Station where the weekend experience is concluded.”
