Being from Germany, I hope blind politicians will not kill this project. I live north of Florida and hope that someday our area will be served. From Orlando to Miami, I'll be using this train.
I’m Proud to be apart of this amazing JV W/ Herzog, Stacey and Railworks. We’ve accomplished so much in the past 3 years. Building a class 6 railroad and rehabbing the Existing Fec mainline. It’s Not easy with freights running all day it hinders our production but safety is key.! #BrightlinetoJacksonville
Progress!! That great that they made sure to include you in this big moment so that you can share it with all of us. Thanks!! (150 videos is quite the commitment on your part. Thanks for that as well.)
I have been watching the progress of this for a year now. My brother and his wife came down from PA to FT. Lauderdale earlier in May and I told him about this. They took the train and Loved it. I cannot wait until my wife and I get to ride it. Super!
I'm always skeptical of transit projects actually going somewhere, though Brightline less so since it's not under the direct control of incompetent government bureaucrats. (And you know, they're already providing real passenger service on the existing FEC Corridor, but I'm a "I'll believe it when I see it" type of guy as a matter of principle.) But it's stuff like this that makes me go "Man, this is really happening for real" and it just makes my day.
It is cool right? I think things are getting better regarding rail in the US. While it took long enough there are some rail systems that have been expanded and are actually useful.
Brightline is very promising. Rode it from Miami to Palm Beach and back just for fun (one time in smart class and premium on the way back) last night and it was a very comfortable, smooth, and fast ride. The amenities were great, stations are clean, and staff very friendly. Driving to palm beach and back in under three hours seemed almost unthinkable before Brightline and I am beyond excited for the Orlando and Tampa extension.
Living in Lakeland. Never been to Miami. I'm looking forward to Traveling Orlando to Miami like as soon as tickets are available. It will become the new normal to spend a day or two down south with such access. Thank you Bright Line!
That's smart of them to invite you. Free publicity. I wish more organisations understood the visibility social media creators like you can bring to a project.
This was marvelous! So glad that you could get the opportunity to document such a massive milestone. I'm very happy for you. Looking forward to the next milestones that lay ahead!
I would like to say thank you for your 150 films on the Brightline Train. Your films are really interesting to watch everytime you release a new film. Otherwise I would not know about the Brightline trains ;in Florida and on the otherside California high speed train either. From Scotia, New York
Huge congrats on 150 episodes! I look forward to seeing your updates, thanks for making this such a great inside look into how a railroad is built and the important milestones it reaches!
Those are some great on the train shots. Seeing this progress getting so close to completion be great. You have produced so many videos documenting this.
So cool you get this level of access. All of your effort has paid off in spades. Of course, only you would know. But thank you so much for sharing all your insights and access. This is the largest railroad construction project since Southern Pacific built the Palmdale Cutoff. I imagine SP documented that project in great detail, but all that film is lost to history. You are making a serious contribution to the world of railroading!
Congratulations on #150 and being there tp document this momentous occasion! This IS the future of passenger rail travel in America, hoping several more routes across the country can be developed in the near future...
It is good to see a IC train finally moving into the Orlando Airport station. Can't wait to see been open to the public. It's something I will be using later on too.
Awesome to see how much Brightline and the other companies involved in the project are giving you access like this as things progress. Congrats on 150!
Congrats on #150!! I look forward to the continued updates, especially as we hear more about possible Disney and Universal stations, and especially the Tampa station. The Tampa portion just got a huge boost today from a recent grant that was received for the track between Orlando and Tampa to be built.
Thanks for sharing.... great info, and thanks for the continued updates. Can't wait to take a ride. Very good look for Central Florida...and Florida in general.👍💯
Awesome progress! Also...how freaking cool is it that they worked with you to get you special access!!! You do good videography and it's nice to see a company understand how good this makes them look. Keep up the good work!
I really hope this takes off as a really popular way to get to miami from orlando. Sure this looks cool, but only time will tell how successful this route is
The sky is the limit for this train once it actually comes into fruition. I mean think about the economy, price of gas and the state of the nation right now… it has all the perfect conditions to propel this project to the moon! Then that infrastructure bill?? To top it all off, the influx of more people to the amazing state of Florida??? Brightline couldn’t have timed this any better. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Orlando will have one of the finest train stations in the country. It would be best if Sunrail would come to that station soon. Brightline should be a pure highspeed passenger service. Serving the Disney resorts could be done by Sunrail better. It would bring the revenue to that system it is lacking now.
Great that you were invited to attend this bit of history. But given the the amount of support and free publicity your videos provide them it would have been something of a travesty if they had not invited you. As always very good camera work and excellent voiceover to explain what is happening.
I'd love to be able to take a train from Orlando to Miami to catch an afternoon Marlins game and back the same day on either Brightline or Amtrak or both.
A great milestone. Florida is looking better and better has a place that is desirable to live. Now let’s see if Brightline can kick it up to Jacksonville to interface with the extension of the Sunset Ltd Amtrak through service from Los Angeles.
I would personally be OVER THE MOON if there is a future Cocoa Station linking Port Canaveral with the Brightline system. I am seriously considering buying a vacation home in Canaveral and this would be the final piece of that decision! EDIT: Thanks so much for these fantastic videos!
After all these years: welcome to Orlando, Brightline! Long live the King!
Ya got that right!
I can't wait...😊 great new!
This is a huge milestone! I'm so happy to see the first train arrive at the Orlando station!
For real. Can’t wait.
Fantastic Brightline gave you such exclusive access…maybe they should bring you on their marketing team?
Being from Germany, I hope blind politicians will not kill this project. I live north of Florida and hope that someday our area will be served. From Orlando to Miami, I'll be using this train.
I agree. I can’t wait for it to reach Jax, if it ever does that is.
Thank you for taking us on this journey
That horn will let everyone in Orlando you have arrived!
Really nice to see modernisation and new lines for the American rail network.
It is interesting to see how much Brightline has been able to do is such a short time compared with the High Speed Rail in California.
And thanks for all the great videos. I look forward to each one every week. I sure hope BL invites you aboard the inaugural run between MCO and WPB.
WOW , #150....Wonderful progress
Thank you for all you've done....
Congrats on #150. Love the videos and the precise geographical slant you bring to the construction process.

Will be awesome to see it stretch across to Tampa!!

Awesome Brightline Construction video :)
Congratulations on 150 amazing videos!
I made a transfer in Orlando International Airport back in april. I could see the right of way from the plane and i got some nice pictures of it!
Gotta like the horn that locomotive was using, anyways the horn tooting sounds like a celebration to me.
I cant wait to ride on it to my cruise in 2023!
As always great work and congrats on being able to.see first hand the first train into.the station
BrightLine trains are so awesome looking...
Bright Blue looks like a gorgeous train set.
Great video today! Glad that Brightline allowed you to be a part of it and that you got some exclusive angles!
This is an exciting day. I hope we will all get to see the trains rolling through Orlando soon
Very exciting to see!
Congratulations! on over 9K Subscribers.
Congratulations and I've really enjoyed watching the progress of Brightline!
Looking forward to riding this nice clean train.

Congratulations on your 150 update & yes finally the station see's its first train. Looking forward to see Passenger service on this line
Thanks again for the updates. This is so cool to see a real HS train in Orlando!
150 updates (so far). I have seen many of them! FIRST CLASS JOB!
Huge congrats on 150 episodes! I look forward to seeing your updates, thanks for making this such a great inside look into how a railroad is built and the important milestones it reaches!
Great to see the progress at my favourite destination airport. I hope that the project is a success, both financially and with the travelling public.
This is awesome 😎
150 👍👍 great video, we’ve come a long way. It’s happening I can’t believe it. Thanks for all your hard work, I personally totally appreciate it.
New York, California and Chicago could never compare to such clean, neat and beauty
Florida is just beautiful
I can’t wait for wait to bring Brightline trains that are happy to see them being welcomed to the Orlando International Airport (MCO)!
So happy this is staying on track! I hope it’s successful!
It’s perfect!!! Can’t wait to get on it! See you next year!
Those are some great on the train shots. Seeing this progress getting so close to completion be great. You have produced so many videos documenting this.
Sunrail is like I feel all alone just waiting for my buddy brightline to be with me....
So cool you get this level of access. All of your effort has paid off in spades. Of course, only you would know. But thank you so much for sharing all your insights and access.

Always enjoy your vids. Congratulations on 150! Lots of work here in Vero Beach on the crossings and the second track. Come see us!

Thank you for keeping us informed!

Man that horn is music to my ears and love the echo as it is pulling into the Orlando Station
Great video 👍🏽
Finally!!!! It is beautiful!
Can't wait to take a ride from Miami to Orlando in this train
Can't wait for the Orlando / Miami trip
Cool! Thanks for the update! Looking forward to riding this train someday.
Congrats on the 150th video & nice views
As always, an excellent update; congratulations on reaching 150 updates!
Thanks for sharing.... great info, and thanks for the continued updates. Can't wait to take a ride.
Very good look for Central Florida...and Florida in general.👍💯
Fantastic footage of a great milestone.
Hope to see connection to Jacksonville and Tampa soon.
So awesome!! Finally!
nice
Nice Video, please keep doing more of the area. Thank You.
Very nice.
Awesome progress!
Also...how freaking cool is it that they worked with you to get you special access!!! You do good videography and it's nice to see a company understand how good this makes them look. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful!!
Can’t wait for this service to begin and the future plans to go through Disney to Tampa
I really hope this takes off as a really popular way to get to miami from orlando. Sure this looks cool, but only time will tell how successful this route is
Amazing!
This video and historic event makes me very optimistic for the future Las Vegas, Los Angeles route- I predict that it will be incredibly profitable!
Brightline and the airlines would be clever if they combine the plane and train tickets. Getting people to and from the airport by rail
The sky is the limit for this train once it actually comes into fruition.

150! Do I need to start saving up for the Brightline Completion Compendium Edition Blu-Ray release? :-)
Great that you were invited to attend this bit of history. But given the the amount of support and free publicity your videos provide them it would have been something of a travesty if they had not invited you. As always very good camera work and excellent voiceover to explain what is happening.
150 updates?! 🙌 👍 👏
Cool, but I just missed it. I road the APM into the intermodal terminal just yesterday.
That's really cool thank you
Im gonna ride it just cause it exists. Comes by me in Cocoa regularly in their tests.
Finally.
How long from Orlando to Miami.
3 hours
Henry Flagler, as well as Henry Plant, would be happy -
I'd love to be able to take a train from Orlando to Miami to catch an afternoon Marlins game and back the same day on either Brightline or Amtrak or both.
Thank you buddy
Wow this is awesome!

EDIT: Thanks so much for these fantastic videos!
Nice. This is a big step forward. How many miles of track have yet to be laid between Orlando and Cocoa?
Still about 20 miles to go
