("X" Train) (OTCBB: XTRN) announced today that The State of Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) supports the X Train as the viable short term conventional passenger rail project in the state of Nevada for the 0-5 year time frame.

The NDOT conducted a comprehensive interview process with over 30 stakeholders such as railroad companies, Amtrak, governmental transportation agencies and private project parties.
