Proven, Reliable, Safe Technology

DesertXpress will utilize proven, off-the-shelf European steel wheel on rail high-speed trains, customized for the unique setting of the corridor. Train interiors will be configured to maximize entertainment and passenger comfort.

Each car will be self-propelled to provide the high power-to-weight ratio needed to follow the I-15 alignment and negotiate its relatively steep grades through two desert mountain passes. DesertXpress will operate at a top speed of 150 mph, making the 190-mile trip in about 1 hour and 20 minutes, like clock work, no matter what time of day, every day of the year.
