Passenger Trains > Siemens / BrightLine factory tourDate: 10/12/21 10:05 Siemens / BrightLine factory tour Author: Lackawanna484 BrightLine provided the Roaming Railfan with a trip to the media event for the roll out of the Red Set: 2.0. The video is up on the U Tube, and it's pretty good.
Many train shells under construction on site, the BrightLine Premium and Select cars were open to the visitors, locomotives 111 and 113 were on the train. A few very minor differences were mentioned from the version 1.0. The plant looks like a very busy place.

One feature of their Sacramento, CA factory was the huge areas of parking that are covered with photovoltaic panels for power. They claim that they generate a large fraction of the power they use from those panels. (And of course want to promote their solar power business too.)

Must see! Date: 10/13/21 10:14 Re: Siemens / BrightLine factory tour Author: KM-ML4000 Like all the equipment stacked like chord wood! Seattle's Sound Transit, Caltrans, and the Midwest States have all stopped further shipments until quality issues are addressed!
