Vossloh to equip first high-speed rail line in the USA

Concrete sleepers and fastening systems for California High-Speed Rail

Vossloh will supply California High-Speed Rail with concrete sleepers and rail fastening systems. The delivery is designated for the project’s initial construction segment of approximately 192 kilometers and has a value of more than 40 million euros. 

The contract covers 335,000 concrete sleepers, including the rail fastening systems. The sleepers will be produced at Vossloh’s plant in Pueblo, Colorado, and delivered starting in the third quarter of this year. The fastening systems are specifically designed to meet the special requirements of a high-speed line, ensuring high reliability, long service life, and low maintenance needs. 

“The California high-speed rail project is a landmark infrastructure initiative in the United States,” says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG. “We are proud to be participating in this first project of its kind in the United States. It also serves as an excellent reference and foundation for further projects that are already being planned there. With this new contract, we will significantly increase capacity utilization in the United States, following several quarters marked by generally weaker demand.”

California High-Speed Rail is considered the first dedicated line in the United States built specifically for high-speed traffic and designed for speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour. It is intended to connect the state’s major population centers and provide a fast, reliable, and sustainable transportation alternative.
