    A lot of Florida pride for the Brightline. A dream realized, it's finally up and operational. Once they get pricing scaled, I believe more residents like myself will have a regular opportunity to ride the train instead of a obligatory road trip to and from Orlando. I-95 is sooo dangerous these days, my parents and I would love to take a weekend out to relive our old family trips to the parks. Just got to get the pricing right; round-trip ticket packages, hospitality bundles, and local transportation all need to be aligned.
    Great video and love the coverage since the very begininng. It's always nice to see the train pass my neighborhood and crossing by the Brightline station near me (Aventura)

    Great coverage. As someone who isn't from Florida, I didn't realize left-lane camping could be so bad until the first part of this video. That alone would be frustrating enough for me to want to take the train.

    Another wonderful job, Austin. Any word on the "fifth" coaches?

    Wow! I was on the 1:45pm departure from Miami to Orlando on that Sunday and we were on a Palm Beaches wrap train. Wonder if that was our train @6:30? Any way to know? We were sitting on the West side of the train too. So unfortunate we can't see a drone shot. Love this video! 🎉

    Such good-looking trains! I would think that some hobby manufacturer, somewhere, would want to release HO or N scale Brightline, as they are sharp-looking. (looked, but none found)

      I've talked with several manufacturers over the years and they have all said that Brightline is too niche of a railroad to invest in the specialized tooling for Brightline's unique features.

      Now if any manufacturers are reading this and want to make something happen, email me...

    Excellent job on your videos. I've noticed there aren't many videos like this in Southern Broward, and Miami-Dade. Is there a restriction there?

      That’s just too far for me to go on a typical day of filming which is why I usually only make it to Jupiter.

    You ever get nervous filming by the water? In Florida hungry things live there..

      Not really, I film almost exclusively at bodies of salt or brackish water which reduces the likelihood of something coming out to get me

      Just gotta watch for Gators at dawn and dusk. I've walked and fished for decades along many a canal and lake without incident. Media likes to play things up - "if it bleeds it leads".
