Although it’s not the kind you can gift wrap and put under the Christmas tree, the new trainset from Brightline is rapidly picking up steam and making headlines. A collab with Siemens Mobility, the collection of stainless-steel coaches has an equally iconic name: Venture. In all, more than 160 suppliers across 27 states came together to design the super-fast works of art that are designed with Brightline’s “customer-first” philosophy at the forefront — luxurious, ergonomic seating is complemented by a contemporary communications system and enhanced Wi-Fi. Thanks to wider aisles, wheelchair storage and fully accessible restrooms, the project exceeds ADA requirements from end to end. “As the nation’s first and only private, operational high-speed rail line, Brightline is committed to building both a robust domestic manufacturing sector and the future of green transportation,” says Michael Reininger, CEO of Brightline Holdings. Construction on Brightline’s service extension is on track to welcome passengers from Miami to Orlando as early as late Fall/Winter 2022; Disney, here we come!; GoBrightline.com.
