On the agenda this year is trainset procurement. The authority “expects to issue notice of proposed award this spring” the statement says.
Last year, the authority’s board of directors approved issuance of a Request for Proposals for a supply-maintain contract for trainsets, a driving simulator, and related services. Alstom Transportation and Siemens Mobility were pre-qualified as candidates
The recently installed authority CEO told the board the authority is looking to connect with Brightline West through the High Desert Corridor between Palmdale and Victor Valley.
“We are working to take the benefit of (common) standards and types of construction we will be doing."
California High-Speed Rail, a $12.4 billion project, won’t meet its 2028 Olympic deadline due to construction delays. Officials confirm operations are expected to begin in December 2028. This was reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.There are currently close to 30 active construction sites. By the end of 2025, all 100 structures eliminating 55 at-grade rail crossings on the four Central Valley construction packages between Madera, Calif., and the site of the railyard south of Wasco will be well underway or complete.
However, current projections confirm the line won’t open before December 2028, months after the Olympic closing ceremony in August.
