California reached a significant milestone on February 3, in its high-speed rail project, as Governor Gavin Newsom announced the completion of the California Railhead Facility in Kern County.
The completion marks a step forward in building the country’s first high-speed rail system and advancing clean, connected transportation, according to a statement from the governor’s office.
The milestone allows California to begin receiving and staging materials needed to install high-speed rail track and systems along the corridor.
“We’re laying the foundation for cleaner, faster, and more connected transportation while investing in communities and creating good-paying jobs,” Newsom said in the statement.
The 150-acre site near Wasco will serve as a central logistics hub for delivering, storing, and deploying materials needed to electrify and operate the system. More
