Amtrak Las Vegas Talgo: Not in Service - The Las Vegas Talgo train service would be Amtrak's first venture into Southern Nevada since
last May, 1998 when the company discontinued its three-times-a-week Desert Wind run, which transported passengers between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Train
service ended when passenger traffic waned and federal subsidies ended. Talgo already has delivered a 10-car train set, painted in a silver, black and blue scheme,
to Seattle where seats, air conditioning and other amenities are being installed.
