The California-Nevada Interstate Maglev project is proposing the construction of a 269 mile Maglev train line from Las Vegas, Nevada to Anaheim, California. The first 40 mile segment received $45 million in 2005 for the planning phase. This segment would run from Las Vegas to Primm, Nevada with proposed service to the new Las Vegas airport.
The project is being researched seriously, particularly by the German consortium behind the Transrapid, who hope to build it as a demonstrator line in the hope of attracting future business; it would be the first long-distance application of Transrapid technology.[citation needed] However, American Magline Group working with the California-Nevada Super Speed Train Commission have received most of the government funds released so far.
