LAS VEGAS — A bipartisan congressional group from Nevada and California asked the Biden administration Monday to fast-track federal funds for a private company to build a high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.

It has seen starts and stops over the years and became sidetracked during the COVID-19 pandemic.
