It is hard to understate what this means for the country. Expected impact: decarbonizing travel, changing the image of rail travel, changing travel experience, boosting employment, setting an important precedent, accelerating pace of rail technology development, and more overhead catenary in California (and Nevada) for freight operators to look at and ponder. #transformtheeveryday #decarbonisation #highspeedrail
We applaud President Biden, Secretary Pete Buttigieg, The White House and the U.S. Department of Transportation for awarding today’s grants and continuing the commitment to investing in passenger rail. Brightline West Trains and California High-Speed Rail Authority will transform the way Americans’ travel. Today is a historic moment for rail in America and on behalf of the 40,000 Siemens team members in the U.S. we applaud this important milestone. Learn more: https://sie.ag/4UbXQL #TransformTheEveryday
