Brightline West reveals interiors of new high-speed rail linking Las Vegas and Southern California

Higher-paying travelers can enjoy premium cabins with white seats and pastel peach headrests, while standard "Smart" cars feature white leather seats with green headrests. Amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets are anticipated, akin to the Florida trains' offerings.

The lounge car stands out in the renderings with tan, pastel, and green decor alongside a walk-up bar featuring desert imagery. Lounge seating options include wraparound booths and softer chairs next to small tables.

Brightline West ensures that the trainsets will meet accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The exterior design focuses on aerodynamic efficiency for high-speed travel.

In September, key figures such as U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer viewed a scaled model of these future trainsets. Siemens plans to commence construction in 2026 at its new facility in Horseheads, New York.

Brightline West officials aim for revenue service by the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This $12 billion project benefits from federal funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Stops are planned for Victor Valley and Rancho Cucamonga in California but not directly at Los Angeles Union Station. Future connections may link it with Southern California's regional mass transit systems and California's developing "bullet train."
