A new coast-to-coast train service, the Transcontinental Chief, is set to launch in May 2026—just in time for the FIFA World Cup. Developed by AmeriStarRail in partnership with Amtrak, it promises a faster, greener alternative for travelers and truckers. The train will connect Los Angeles to New York using existing tracks, without needing taxpayer funding, and aims to modernize long-distance U.S. travel while supporting national tourism and logistics.
