I was recently invited to travel to California to attend a Brightline media event at the Siemens Mobility Rolling Stock Factory in Sacramento, Ca to see how Brightline's trains are made and see their newest train, the second BrightRed. This video will focus on the factory tour with the new train being its own video. Part two which tours Brightline's newest train, BrightRed 2, can be found here: • Inside BrightRed: A To...

1:07 After brief presentations from Siemens North American Rolling Stock President Michael Cahill and Brightline CEO Michael Reininger, we began the tour in the final assembly area. Here one of Brightline's new locomotives was having the finishing touches down and I provide a walk through the locomotive.
5:03 Next is the building where the locomotive frames and shell are built. We see the full process of building a locomotive, from building the fuel tank to adding the sides, to a fully assembled cab ready to be attached to the frame.
10:44 The third stop is where the shells for the passenger cars are built. Here car sides are welded together by robots, the ends are assembled and attached, and the roofs are built.
19:42 The final stop is in the passenger coach final assembly area. The cars come in here once they are closed in and water leak tested and the interior is built out. Here we also walk through a future Brightline coach before seats are added.
26:10 We end with a quick test of Brightline's sixth and newest train, the second BrightRed. A full video devoted to it will be coming shortly.
Thank you to Brightline for bringing me out to California to document this process.
