Private investor will support launch of Dreamstar’s Los Angeles – San Francisco service.
Dreamstar plans to offer passengers suites with a queen-size bed.
US start-up Dreamstar Lines has announced an investment of $US 100,000 in the company. This will provide general financial support with a focus on securing track access agreements for its planned Los Angeles – San Francisco overnight service.
The private capital comes from property investor Bill Lyon.
Dreamstar says that its overnight train concept is intended to avoid the disadvantages of travelling by “traditional rail,” air, the private car and buses, such as overcrowded terminals, aging vehicles, “inconvenience, stress and minimal amenities.”
“We are very encouraged by this important investment and expression of confidence from one of Southern California’s most successful business leaders,” says Dreamstar CEO, Joshua Dominic.
In March 2024 Dreamstar signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with infrastructure owner Union Pacific (UP) to operate between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Coast Line. This runs via Santa Barbara and used by relatively few freight trains at night.
