Brightline Trains on the Orlando Line - January/February 2024

[@patrickhuot001]

It’s great to finally see Brightline in action. In fact, I got to see the trains in person for the first time when I visited my parents this past Christmas.

[@29brendus]

Very impressive. The new line looks great, sleek, efficient.

Took the brightline train from Ft Lauderdale to Miami when we took a cruise out of Miami, Great experience. They are even at shuttle from the FLL airport to the FLL station.

[@jonesyokc]

I did Miami Central to FLL after a cruise. It is a great option because it opens up so many more post cruise departure options.

[@nickwelchoff4677]

Spectacular view.

[@ELAlcoRS3]

Awesome drone piloting and video! Aways a pleasure to watch!

[@MicrobyteAlan]

It was a struggle but it sure looks good seeing Brightline cruising down the track.

[@enjoystraveling]

Just took brightline yesterday from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando. On time, t comfortable and relaxing. 😎 I’m pleased and I’ll take it again.

[@TheFitzeFitzeAtze]

Great to see in action with spectacular views. Thanks. Now second track and up to Tampa. Cheers from Berlin👋

[@Sundance1987]

Excellent, from Gainesville, FL!!!

[@PCBill0622]

Nice series-smooth pilotage.

[@jeffchancey4273]

Enjoyed the Video !

[@robertrogucki3537]

When do they plan on fully finishing the build and double tracking?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Not anytime soon

[@robrepass2179]

This is very spectacular

[@jamallhayden2512]

Thank You!

[@williamcarlson5405]

From WC, Great Video, I still don’t understand why both ends of the single track was not built as a crossover with both ends of the double track temporally ending beyond the crossovers? That way when the double track was built between the coast and Orlando it would not have caused any problem to rail traffic! I had forgotten just how low the land was East of Orlando as I saw all of the Barrow pits where the sand was take in out to raise the land for the railroad and other projects!

[@inqwit1]

Too cool. Keep up the good work.

[@commercialcritic4676]

Sweet!

[@javiermagro356]

Thanks for the awesome video! Any idea or updates on the line between Tampa & Orlando?

[@RoamingRailfan]

No updates currently

[@ericneumann8509]

So at 10:07 Are all of the boxes on the left side of the tracks extra ties for track 2 in the future?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Those are all left over ties from construction

[@ericneumann8509]

wasn't the place that made them close by or is that there area?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Fort Pierce

[@czamman]

When covering the Dallas blvd, it looks like there was a helicopter flying just along the treeline. Or ufo? 6:07 ish

[@RoamingRailfan]

Those are flocks of birds that are flying close together

[@ericneumann8509]

At 6:17 How fast is it going here?

[@RoamingRailfan]

I don't have a radar gun to say for sure but I'd assume close to, if not at, the track speed of 125mph

[@BillChapline]

Also watch the signals change as the trains move.

[@rdgk1se3019]

Any word on the new coaches?, excellent video by the way.

[@RoamingRailfan]

Last I heard more coaches are due either later this year or early next year

[@franz-peterkayser722]

Is the wait at the single track part of the schedule or was is each time caused by delays?

[@RoamingRailfan]

I believe it is built into the schedule

[@ELAlcoRS3]

I"m surprised they did that, figured they'd just hold the train at MCO (OIA) for an extra couple minutes rather than have to stop there and wait.

[@deletedaccountdnd]

Do you know what is being built at the 1:37 mark on the right side?

[@RoamingRailfan]

A new high school is being built for the new neighborhoods that have recently been built and the future developments that are going to be surrounding it in the coming years.

[@deletedaccountdnd]

@@RoamingRailfan thank you! Hoping for that Tampa announcement soon so we can get even more incredible videos😌

[@topcat890]

Is this a rail line only for Brightline or can freight trains or even Amtrak if it Requires to do a detour are they allowed to use this track?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Only Brightline

[@marvwatkins7029]

Great but this has already been covered by others months ago.

[@RoamingRailfan]

There is no breaking news aspect that I am trying to cover with this and I have even previously showed trains in some of these locations. These just happen to be ones I have seen so far this year.

[@doolittlegeorge]

About the only thing that makes Florida livable at the moment is Brightline. Maybe Uber and Lyft now to go with that.

[@Hillsidedojo]

Look at all those cars, they just don't get it.
