09/11/2024
The new 300,000-square foot facility will produce America’s first high-speed trains, the American Pioneer 220, which will operate on Brightline West’s Las Vegas to Southern California line. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2026.
“Bringing high-speed rail to America is no longer a dream, but a reality. With Leader Schumer, the Biden Administration and Brightline’s leadership we will transform the way Americans travel,” said Marc Buncher, CEO Siemens Mobility North America. “Continuing our more than four-decade legacy of building trains in America, the American Pioneer 220s will be American-Made in New York by a team of more than 300 skilled team members.”
Siemens Mobility, a division of Siemens, has four core business units: Mobility Management, dedicated to rail technology and intelligent traffic systems, Railway Electrification, Rolling Stock, and Customer Services.
“This project is a game changer, elevating Chemung County and the Southern Tier Region to unprecedented prominence,” noted Joe Roman, President of Southern Tier Economic Growth and Executive Director of the Chemung County Industrial Development Agency. “With this cutting-edge initiative, along with the established rail car industry and related vendors in the Southern Tier, we are fostering the growth of a manufacturing cluster that positions our area as one of the most important transportation hubs in New York State.”
Brightline West is a privately run high-speed rail route, currently under construction, to link the Las Vegas Valley and Rancho Cucamonga in the Greater Los Angeles area through the California high desert.
