Trains on Brightline's Orlando Line - June 2024

[@Hillsidedojo]

Amazing to see the train going faster than the cars.

[@georgepins9387]

Nice to see that the "wraps" don't cover the windows, as I believe the first one did.

[@nickpickard6657]

Man I remember when they were building this line!!! Great video and the line looks amazing!!

[@danielcluley870]

I still can't believe this got done. Looking at the aerial video of the engineering and planning involved for one single multi-use interchange with tunnels, grading, and viaducting is just amazing. What an engineering project!

[@orlandoracer407]

Great video. I can't wait until that line is double track, and Brightline to have additional coach cars to accommodate more passengers.

[@armandoperez7967]

It is so incredible to believe that not even 20 years ago, this beautiful line wasn’t even a concept. Yet here it is. If it was a government project, there would still be studies that would have to be done.

im not gonna lie ive missed being able to log on every week and see a new construction video, but this is still cool to see!

[@rwdavidoff]

Great footage as always. I've said before, but I really hope the station in Cocoa is a two-track station with platforms able to access both (like a two-track island like Aventura) so they can make clearing trains through it and onto the Cocoa to Orlando run cleaner.

Thank You!

[@DanHPage]

Thanks for the nicely shot video! The lighting and colors, especially at the start, are excellent. Make more, please!

[@rickaser2383]

Thanks for the update; surprised that all the earthwork and associated ground cover has recovered so quickly; like it never even happened.

[@Grafzee]

Another great video, excellent aerial shots, thx for sharing Austin!

[@LuisUrbieta]

Awesome

[@GamingRailfanner]

Crazy how this was once a construction project not too long ago.

[@Adamguitarherochamp1]

My friend told me brightline is going to have 7 coaches in the future. When are planning on adding more coaches to the train?

[@RoamingRailfan]

The first additional coach should be added to the trains later this summer with more to come over the following year.

[@peterrobinson6872]

I liked watching the speed difference between road and rail, esp around 4:40.

[@georgepratt3721]

Any idea when the 5th car will be added to each train?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Later this summer

[@pirazel7858]

Nice catching the trains meeting each other. Was that intended or just luck?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Luck

[@thepokemonguy996]

Great video! Also any updates on sunrail/new brightline stations coming soon?

[@RoamingRailfan]

My next Sunrail video should be out sometime this week.

[@rtscycling]

Has ridership grown on the line?

[@RoamingRailfan]

To the point that each train is going to be expanded to 7 cars over the next year to meet demand.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

I'm assuming you're using a mavic zoom. Looks absolutely stunning.

[@RoamingRailfan]

Nope, I just film at a high enough resolution so that I can do all the zooming in post production without degrading the quality too much.

[@TheLightningII]

Did you get permission to film this? You are literally inside the surface boundary of MCO's Class B airspace.

[@RoamingRailfan]

Yes, I had the necessary clearances
