  U.S. stocks finished higher on Tuesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite leading the way up, while the large-cap S&P 500 index notched its best day since February as earnings season ramps up.
  
  The Nasdaq Composite advanced 245.33 points, or 1.6%, to finish at 15,696.64. It was the index's largest one-day point and percentage gain since April 11, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
  
  The S&P 500 was up 59.95 points, or 1.2%, to end at 5,070.55. The large-cap benchmark index booked its best daily gain in over two months.

  Construction of a ...
  Construction of a new passenger rail system linking the Los Angeles area to Las Vegas began yesterday. The Brightline West system, spanning 218 miles mostly along Interstate 15, is expected to be the nation's first true high-speed intercity rail network. The route (see map) is expected to take around 30,000 travelers per day between Rancho Cucamonga, California, and Las Vegas.
  
  The all-electric trains can reach speeds up to 200 mph, with the typically four-hour travel time between the two cities expected to take just over two hours. Sister company Brightline opened its Miami-Orlando line last year; its trains reach speeds up to 125 mph. The International Union of Railways defines “high-speed rail” as new rail lines capable of going at least 155 mph.
