First look inside America’s first bullet train from Southern California to Las Vegas

The company behind America’s first electric high-speed rail system between Southern California and Las Vegas has shared the first renderings of the train’s interior.

Brightline West took to social media to share the first glimpses of how their trains might look when operational in 2028.

These images included the interior of a ‘party car’, complete with a bar and pink and green seating.

“With bold fuchsia interiors and a luxurious vibe, it’s the perfect space to kick back, pop some champagne and enjoy the ride from Vegas to California in style,” the company said on X.

The company also shared renderings of the train’s regular cars which matched the modern and sleek design of the ‘party car’, where passengers will be able to enjoy the views across the Californian desert.

The project broke ground in April of this year with the new privately run high-speed route being part of a plan to revolutionize travel between the two major hubs of Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

The planned route will connect the greater Los Angeles area, Rancho Cucamonga in Southern California, to the Las Vegas Valley when operational – a trip which currently takes almost an hour and a half by plane or over four hours by car.

With maximum speeds of around 220mph, the new route is aiming to half the journey time by car.

Renderings of the train’s interior and exterior come as Brightline officials and US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced plans for a new-high speed train manufacturing plant to be built in upstate New York.

The new 300,000-square-foot facility in Horseheads, NY, will house construction of Brightline’s high-speed trains from 2026.
