I got the below from the latest business plan. 186 mph is the number Brightline is using for their new Velaros. It's sounding like the authority will lease Velaros for initial 119 mile operations? The German consulting firm is milking it for everything they can.
"...higher interim service speeds (estimated at up to 186 miles per hour) but at a lower cost through use of existing production trainsets or a lease approach. Under
this scenario, as the system expands beyond Merced and Bakersfield, the Authority would then
procure trainsets capable of operating at speeds of 220 miles per hour."
