Train details for Las Vegas-to-California high-speed rail project revealed

The fleet of Brightline West's trains will carry up to 450 passengers on the journey between Las Vegas and Southern California in under two hours.

Brightline West, the company behind the project building California's first-ever high-speed rail connecting Las Vegas and Los Angeles, announced this week it has chosen who will build the train sets as the project moves forward following a monumental groundbreaking last month.

"RELATED COVERAGE: The train sets will feature "the latest in passenger experience, cutting-edge digital technology, and a revolutionary propulsion system, built specifically for the U.S. market," Brightline officials said in a statement. The seven-car trains will be designed for operational speeds of up to 220 mph and will feature a lighter weight and aerodynamic shape that are said to make them more efficient than other high-speed trains.
