New renderings released Monday provided the first look at the interior of the train sets that will run on Brightline West’s Las Vegas to Southern California high-speed rail line to be built in upstate New York.
The American Pioneer 220 train sets will be built by Siemens Mobility at a planned $60 million, 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Horseheads, New York, Brightline announced Monday. Production at the facility is expected to start in 2026.
“Siemens’ investment in upstate New York will lay the foundation for the next chapter of our nation’s transportation future, making high-speed rail, what only a few years ago seemed like a dream, but because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Law is becoming a reality,” Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, said in a statement.
