Two more new trainsets to support Brightline’s expansion of service to Orlando, Fla., are on their way to the passenger operator. The Bright Pink 2 and Bright Green 2 trainsets, which departed Siemens’ Sacramento factory on July 8, were photographed Saturday, July 16, on CSX Transportation’s Henderson Subdivision (Evansville, Ind.-Nashville, Tenn.). Brightline had said it expected the equipment to take 10 to 14 days to be delivered.

These are the second and third of the new trainsets to be delivered; the Bright Blue 2 trainset arrived in February, becoming the first equipment at the company’s new Vehicle Maintenance Facility near Orlando International Airport [see “News photos: Brightline’s first Orlando train …,” Trains News Wire, Feb. 8, 2022].
