Equipment Mishaps Close Las Vegas Monorail Project
Las Vegas new high-speed monorail is stalled less than two months after its debut due to two separate incidents of equipment falling off trains.
The $650-million, 4.2-mile privately owned system began operation July 15, carrying 40,000 passengers a day between the convention center and eight resorts. The original Jan. 20 opening was delayed after a driveshaft fell off a Bombardier Mark M-VI train during a test run.
