I rode on BrightGreen with my family on October 12th ORL-MIA at 6:50AM EST. What was super cool and rare was that train had 5 cars and they were all the same color. Also that train's horn had the overblowing issue that the SC-44s on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner have which made the horn sound so much better especially on the 110 mph zones.
Brightline is not really adding capacity, their capacity is really the same instead of 10 sets of 4 traincars it's now 8 sets of 5 traincars so BL is running 14 trains instead of 16 that's why their trains are more crowded by consolidating the same capacity by running lesser trips so that their more profitable
Nope. It's 9 10 car sets instead of 10 4 car sets. 1 set is out of service each day but what matters is frequency. Let's do the math. They had 40 cars. They got 5. They have 45. 10*4=40, 9*5=45. They have added 5 cars to their fleet, ergo, more capacity. You're correct that they're temporarily reducing daily departures. How does that impact capacity? Let's find out. 16 trains per day * 4 cars per train = 64 cars per day each direction. 14 trains per day * 5 cars per train = 70 cars per day each direction. Translation: they're adding capacity. Thank you for playing. Also it's they're, not their 🙂.

Why don’t you railfan on the faster parts of the line??
