Luxury Overnight Trains Return? Dreamstar Aims to Reshape West Coast Rail Travel

Dreamstar is aiming to revive the glamour of luxury overnight trains connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco, a service unseen since the 1940s. Leveraging existing Union Pacific freight rail lines, they plan to offer all-sleeper accommodations with gourmet dining and five-star hospitality. This aims to provide a comfortable, reliable, and elegant alternative for medium-distance travel, claiming a 75% reduction in carbon emissions compared to flying. Having secured some investment, Dreamstar plans to launch service before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
