California Reveals First Look of Train Stations For Their Incredible Bullet Trains Which Will Breeze at Speeds of Over 200 Miles Per Hour

California has unveiled a glimpse of its great, towering for their incredible bullet trains.

California Inaugural High-Speed Rail Service Project

President Biden has vowed to see his election promise through. This promise pertains to the building of world-class high-speed rail. It involves the expenditure of $8.2 billion in federal funding on 10 rail projects all over the US.

The Administration has allocated $3.1 billion to California for the bullet-train line projects of the state. One of these will be racing through Central Valley, while the other will go from California all the way to Nevada.

The California-Nevada bullet train is being constructed by Brightline. The track could soon be operational in 2026. It could be capable of bringing passengers to Las Vegas from Los Angeles in just two hours.

Federal funding will also be granted to the California Inaugural High-Speed Rail Service Project for the railway to be brought to the Central Valley of California. Railroads will be spreading across 171 miles from Bakersfield all the way to Merced. There will be stops in Kings/Tulare, Fresno, and Madera.

Eventually, the bigger project will race between San Francisco and Los Angeles, covering all the cities between them in a journey spanning three hours. This will be incredibly short compared to the expected seven-hour drive.

The general goal of the project is to link Central and in-land California smaller towns with bigger cities across the North and South.

Incredible Bullet Trains

According to lawmakers, these railroads will be useful in various ways. Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, shares that these bullet trains will make travel easier and quicker. It will also enable the creation of new jobs, bring housing closer, and offer more economic opportunities that would have been beyond reach.

In terms of speed, the new trains will greatly outpace any existing rail travel in the US. At present, the current contender is Amtrak, which has a speed of 160 miles per hour. The new bullet trains are set to move at speeds of 220 miles per hour without posing any environmental harm.

The White House also notes that the trains will be fully electric and powered by renewable energy.

The high-speed line has been in the works since 2015. However, passengers will only get to board it by 2028 or later.

First Look at Bullet Train Station

To increase anticipation, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has unveiled pictures of the train station that comes as part of the novel bullet train project.

The interior of the station is set to be bright and light. It will have plentiful seating and tall ceilings. There will also be greenery surrounding it, as well as windows that stretch from the floor to the ceiling.

Except for the Fresno station, all other train stations will require their passengers to ride the train from platforms that are elevated. There will be fare gates that will only grant access to ticketed passengers.
