Train Roars Thru RR Crossing & This Happens! Florida East Coast Railway & Brightline In Vero Florida

[@alancrouch117]

Brightline runs 115-125 between Orlando to Cocoa. 70-80 cocoa to west palm. 50 web to Miami. Next time in fl ride it from Orlando to Miami and back sev real rail fans have done that. Be safe

[@andreiionescu205]

Its still slow as hell

125/110/79 with only a few slower spots.

Great train 🚆 video from Brian and Mrs. Jaw Tooth. It's very interesting stuff today. These trains go very fast in Florida.

[@kencarp57]

Florida is CRAZY! There have been lots of Brightline accidents because of idiots going through active crossing gates, and it's NEVER the train's fault!

[@paulholmes672]

Too many 'Smart' people that have getting by with it for years, not realizing an 80 mph passenger train is slightly faster than a 40-50 mph freight train. That's okay, a great way to thin the herd.

[@oldad6207]

And they ALWAYS win.

This was a good one JT. That’s liquified natural gas in that tender between the two GEVO’s. Lots of Brightline action for sure, I paused the video and read that historical plack, had no idea FEC had been around since the late 1800’s. What I wouldn’t give for a day at the beach, looked beautiful, you even caught a dolphin coming up for air! Excellent video JT👍🏼😎🇺🇸

Good morning JT & fans. WOW that freight train was booking! I think that is the fastest ive seen. Brightlines go very fast as well. Great Florida catches JT. I saw the inaugural Brightline service from Orlando to Miami think it was a couple of years back. ❤😊👍

[@JawTooth]

Morning! Yes, they do book. Their top speed is 125mph

[@HolidayDecorator]

​@@JawToothActually there true top speed they can achieve is 250mph, but they were told not above 125 in the open rural areas by the state of Florida. But those Brightline locomotives are supposedly capable of 250+mph. [Although I've heard rumors they can actually make a top speed of 350mph! Could you imagine a train rolling past you at those speeds? I think you'd just have a blur trying to video a train going that fast!🤔]

[@brianhickey5949]

One thing for sure - you don't want to mess with running a crossing around there. A 65 MPH train will pop up in no time :) FECRR uses LNG for all of their diesels. They did the conversion a few years back. It makes a derailment a lot more interesting :)

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennethhanks6712]

The LNG/diesel 80/20 mix set up with the "tenders" only used on the mainline thru freight GE locos, the rest of the basically all EMD fleet is still traditional diesel power. The new GEs can run straight diesel if necessary.

Great video JT & Mrs. JT! Busy line there in Florida. Nice to see some fast passenger trains. Just wait to see what they look like at 125 mph especially if traffic increases and they run 2 plus 8 car formations! I thought our British express trains were fast at 125 mph but I saw some TGV trains in France a few years back and they run at 186 mph so if you blink you almost miss seeing them and the wind they cause almost blows you away. It's quite a revelation! Nice to see a bit of the Florida street scene and the beach too! Enjoy the rest of your break.
