Driving from Los Angeles to the Coachella Valley may no longer be necessary if a proposed passenger train project materializes. Officially known as The Coachella Valley Rail, the passenger train would run 144 miles from Union Station in L.A. to the city of Indio in the Coachella Valley. The train would also make stops in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Currently, the project is undergoing a second environmental analysis that will examine the proposed project in detail, like identifying station locations and any infrastructure improvements needed, officials with the Riverside County Transportation Commission told KTLA.
