ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida commuter operator SunRail has decorated one of its trainsets to mark America’s semiquincentennial, with the Florida Department of Transportation saying the move is one way the agency is “showcasing the state’s contributions to the Republic and the importance of the state’s transportation system.”
The locomotive, an MPI MP32PH-Q, features a predominantly white design, while the two Bombardier coaches feature designs with such state symbols and attributes as citrus flowers; wildlife, including a manatee and alligator; technology; and historical sites. Crews operating the train wear patriotic uniform shirts, while “Celebrate America on SunRail” banners and posters are featured on the train and in stations.
SunRail, which began service in 2014, operates 42 trains each day Monday through Friday. More information is available at the SunRail website.
