Where are Brightline trains made?

Siemens is manufacturing Brightline trains in Sacramento, Calif.



Brightline’s high-speed passenger trains are manufactured in the United States at the Siemens Mobility rolling stock factory located in Sacramento, California. These trains, specifically the Siemens Venture trainsets, are 100% "Buy America" compliant, meaning the components are sourced from a network of more than 40 suppliers across 20 different states. The Sacramento facility handles everything from the welding of the car shells and the fabrication of the locomotive frames to the final interior build-out, including the installation of the high-value leather seats and onboard tech. In 2026, as Brightline expands its Florida network and breaks ground on the Brightline West project (connecting Las Vegas to Southern California), this Sacramento plant remains the central hub for producing the sleek, neon-colored locomotives and coaches that have redefined modern inter-city rail travel in America.
