America’s high-speed rail future will be built in Upstate NY. Siemens’ investment in Horseheads will lay the foundation for the next chapter of our nation’s transportation future, making real high-speed rail, what only a few years ago seemed like a dream. When fully operational, the new manufacturing facility will span nearly 300,000 square feet and create around 300 jobs – including electro-mechanical assemblers, quality management, quality control, industrial production and test engineers, project management, supply chain management and logistics employees. Just as New York’s rich rail history once helped shape the state, these skilled jobs will help shape high-speed rail production in our country for the very first time.
