A rail link between Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California in the US has been given a financial boost with the appointment of Hunter Capital Group as the project's financial advisor.
The Las Vegas Railway Express Inc has been planning the re-establishment of a passenger train service between the two cities since 2009 and hopes to see the first services start as soon as 2011.
Hunter Capital managing director David Eastman said this was a unique investment project for both domestic and international investors.
Las Vegas Railway Inc chairman and CEO Michael Barron said Hunter Capital's experience would be a major benefit to the project.
