I am staying at a place overlooking the tracks just south of the new river.


All morning there have been Brightline trains running up and down the tracks. I thought they weren't starting up again until this fall?

I believe they are in testing mode for the trains and new track.

Proving runs because service is restarting in November.

Plenty of time for them to remove the BUGS from their Systems....They've been idle also for quite a long stretch due to the Pandemia.

It's either the NTSA or the FAA require that the trains have dry runs for a set amount of weeks before they can restart service.

That is what they are doing.

when will the south Florida to central Florida connection be done?
Because Brightline is a waste with Tri Rail and metro rail already in existence in south fl.
The main draw that Brightline had is the fact that it would make getting to Miami to Orlando happen with 2hrs. compared to the normal 3 and a half hours it normally takes by car.
