Brightline West Trains’ Post

🚄 Exciting News for Transportation Infrastructure! 🌟 Today marks a significant milestone in the advancement of transportation connectivity as U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, along with Brightline West owner Wes Edens and other distinguished guests, gathered for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Brightline West project. Spanning 218 miles through the Interstate 15 corridor from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, California, this electrifying endeavor promises to revolutionize travel efficiency. With fully electric trains capable of speeds up to 200 miles per hour, the journey from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga will be reduced to just two hours, offering unparalleled convenience for commuters and travelers alike. The impact of this initiative extends far beyond mere convenience. By forging new connections and reducing congestion on our roads, Brightline West is poised to unleash a wave of economic opportunity while simultaneously mitigating environmental concerns through decreased pollution. The collaboration between federal, state, and local leaders underscores the power of bipartisan efforts in realizing ambitious infrastructure projects. The $12 billion investment, with a significant portion funded by a federal grant, demonstrates a commitment to innovation and progress that will shape our transportation landscape for generations to come. As we look ahead to the completion of this transformative project by 2028, in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, let us celebrate not only the tangible infrastructure but also the intangible bonds of collaboration and vision that have made it possible. Kudos to all involved in making the dream of high-speed rail in the Southwest a reality. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter, more connected future. #BrightlineWest #TransportationTransformation #InfrastructureInvestment 🛤💼🌟

Welcome to my end-of-week #RunningRail Just back from my run is some new hi-tech shoes and they are a game changer (for those interested HOKA Cielo X1). As I ran, my thoughts moved to new technologies for the rail industry. What will get more people out of their cars and freight off the roads? Thoughts! #railindustry #railinfrastructure #controlsystems

Brightline Trains is changing the way Americans are using public transit & now they are trying to build more private railway lines outside of Florida where they have gained enormous success. This is a stupendous effort & wonderful case study for so many countries still struggling to build railway infrastructure along side roadways & civil aviation. I am quite keen to sample the Orlando line that they have built which I am told is awesome & has been greatly appreciated by the citizens of Florida. The US remains a pioneer in railways, but thanks to policies, it has taken a back seat & it has no high speed line. If Brightline can create new networks, it can become a great feeder to the interstate bus network, civil aviation and of course Amtrak which still is forced to use freight lines to run their passenger network across the country. Cars are extremely important for last mile connectivity, privacy, & family travel where there is no public transit. But so are trains & planes to create a complete public transit ecosystem for a country as BIG as the US. And the Brightline example is pure innovation. Using "right of way" they have reduced land acquisition issues to create a line parallel to interstate networks! Fascinating policy applications for real world solutions using private funding. Kudos to Patrick Goddard and his team, I cannot wait to see what's next & as a fellow #planes, #trains & #automobiles geek, I wish them the best. #publicaffairs #publicpolicy #transportation #urbantransport #urbantransit #interstate #intercity #policymaking #policyanalysis #railwayindustry #railwayinfrastructure #railwayinnovation #urbaninfrastructure

And it truly changed the world. A vision of progress and prosperity, coupled with some solid North Eastern engineering.

The Figueres-Perpignan cross-border section handles 55% of road traffic and 65% of railway traffic between the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. The 5GMED project has established an architecture for roads and railways in the Mediterranean corridor. 👉 Watch the video below to learn more about the 4 use cases of the project: remote driving, road infrastructure digitalisation, enhanced railway communications, and Follow-ME Infotainment solution:
