Which monorail used to begin the monorail that is a 3.9 mile long monorail mass transit system?
Las Vegas Monorail The Las Vegas Monorail is a 3.9 mi monorail mass transit system located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, in Clark County, Nevada, United States. It connects several large casinos in the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester, and does not enter the City of Las Vegas. It is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Monorail Company. In 2013, total annual ridership was roughly 4.2 million, down from a pre-Great Recession peak of 7.9 million in 2007. The monorail is a registered not-for-profit corporation, allowed under Nevada law since the monorail provides a public service. The State of Nevada assisted in bond financing, but no public money was used in construction.
Illinois Zephyr The Illinois Zephyr, running since 1971, is a 258-mile (415 km) passenger train operated by Amtrak, that runs between Chicago and Quincy, Illinois. The train is a part of the "Illinois Service" rail network and is partially funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Between Chicago and Galesburg, Illinois, this train service uses the same double track (BNSF, old CB&Q) as three other Amtrak routes: the "California Zephyr", the "Southwest Chief", and the "Carl Sandburg". The Galesburg to Quincy route (old CB&Q Quincy/Hannibal branch) is only served by the "Illinois Zephyr" and the "Carl Sandburg". The "Illinois Zephyr" is the "longest continuously operated state-sponsored train."
