WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The first of Brightline’s new trainsets for expansion of service to Orlando has arrived at the passenger operator’s West Palm Beach maintenance facility.
A video provided by Brightline shows the trainset — the first of two five new two-locomotive, four-car trains — completing its trip from Sacramento, Calif. Service to Orlando is projected to begin in 2023, with a projected travel time between Orlando and Miami of about 3 hours, 15 minutes.
In other news, the Palm Beach Post reports test trains were slated to begin running Thursday as Brightline prepares to restart service between Miami and West Palm Beach, suspended since March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Service is expected to resume in November, although Brightline has yet to announce an exact date for its return.
