Description | Ameristar Rail is planning a new private train route called the Transcontinental Chief that will connect Los Angeles to New York City in under 72 hours. The service aims to start on May 10, 2026, just before the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the 250th birthday of the United States. The route will take over parts of existing Amtrak routes and will facilitate faster travel for fans attending FIFA 2026 events. It will also provide a rolling rest stop for truckers by allowing them to load trailers onto the train and rest onboard during their required breaks. The service plans to transport passengers, trucks, cars, motorcycles, RVs, and buses, with future expansions to cities like the Grand Canyon and Chicago. |
