Brightline Pink Train. Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Brightline is a diesel higher-speed rail system under construction in Florida, United States. It is being developed by All Aboard Florida, a wholly owned subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries (FECI). The first phase is planned to connect Miami to West Palm Beach through express intercity service, with a stop in Fort Lauderdale. The complete project is intended to connect Miami and South Florida to Orlando, which requires a new line westward from the coast.
Brightline will be the first time a privately owned company in the U.S. has developed and operated an express passenger rail system since 1983, when the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad discontinued their Rio Grande Zephyr. The service will use the existing Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) corridor between Miami and Cocoa, while also building a new 40-mile (64 km) stretch of tracks along the State Road 528 corridor between Cocoa and the Orlando International Airport. Brightline has announced its intentions to expand to other cities once the initial phase is complete.
