The state of Utah has taken the first steps and applied for grants for a railroad line that goes directly from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. 

Utah's Department of Transportation is working together with the Nevada Department of Transportation, Amtrak, and the Idaho Transportation Department to bring rail service back. The idea is a route from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City and then up to Boise 

To be clear, although the idea has been discussed for years, it is only in the planning stages right now.
