Siemens to Build First U.S. High-Speed Train Factory in New York

The $60 million facility will manufacture trains for the Brightline West project, cutting travel time between Las Vegas and Los Angeles in half.

Siemens Mobility is investing $60 million to build a 300,000-square-foot factory in Horseheads, New York.
The facility will produce American Pioneer 220 trains for the Brightline West project, connecting Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
The high-speed trains are expected to reach speeds over 186 mph, reducing travel time to just over two hours.
The project has received significant federal support, including a $3 billion grant and authorization to sell $2.5 billion in tax-exempt bonds.
The factory will create around 300 jobs and is scheduled to start operations in 2026.
