Germany's Siemens said Monday that it will spend $60 million on a new plant in the United States to build high-speed trains that will transport passengers between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Located in Horseheads, New York, the plant will be Siemens first high-speed rail production base in the United States. The plant will go into production in 2026 and will build the American Pioneer 220 train, which will run on the Las Vegas to Southern California line operated by Brightline West.
