PHOTO RELEASE: Join California High-Speed Rail for “The State of the Future”

July 12, 2024

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Beat the heat this weekend, and join the California High-Speed Rail Authority for the grand opening of the first-ever full-scale project exhibit at the California State Fair. The State of the Future will take visitors through the history of the project – from construction into operations of the nation’s first 220 mph electrified high-speed train system.

The largest feature will be the mock-ups of our future train interiors, where visitors will get a chance to check out the different seating options, take a selfie in the cocoon seat, and learn more about future operations. The Authority expects to initiate 171 miles of electrified high-speed rail passenger service between Merced and Bakersfield between 2030 and 2033.

For those who want a different look, virtual reality headsets will allow visitors of all ages to experience the Authority’s trains and stations and even try their hand as an iron worker on the project.

And we didn’t forget about our youngest exhibit visitors – and our future riders – as we’ll have a play area so there’s something to do for the whole family. Come join us in Building 5, July 12 through 28 to learn more about this transformative project, hear from experts on future job opportunities and join us for discussions on careers in the building trades.

Sacramento Republic FC Fans who purchase a ticket to Saturday’s match will also receive free entrance into the fair, thanks to our partner agencies, Caltrans and the California Office of Traffic Safety. Click here to watch the video about this partnership.
