It seems that every time the Las Vegas Railway Express issues a new press release, we get a better idea about what The X Train is really going to be -- if it really does make it onto tracks somewhere in the country... or in Canada.
The latest press release issued today, talks about offering a luxury passenger car service. There is no mention of train service between Southern California and Las Vegas, nor any mention about having actual X Trains.
I have to wonder what the Wall Street investment houses that raised millions of dollars and what the stockholders who pumped millions into the company think about the change of plans? But with a current stock price of about 3-cents per share for XTRN shares, I am guessing they don't think much of it.
Here is the press release:
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2013) - The Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (OTCQB: XTRN), known as the X Train, announced today the selection of Masterpiece Cuisine as the caterer for their luxury passenger train service. The company is engaged in developing luxury train travel service specializing in rail vacations in the US and Canada.
