Seeing new trains rolling over new infrastructure is a beautiful sight. Hopefully, we can see the same thing with Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor by the end of the decade.
Cannot wait for my next vacation to Orlando . My first visit will be the brightline to Miami and back to Orlando. Thank you for the latest upload upload. Greetings to everyone from Derbyshire, England .
Great to see these trains running. I know it has been only a short time, but has Brightline released any data on how its ridership is going for the extension to Orlando? I know many want this to be a success.
Have you ever seen the Reading and Northern 2102 steam locomotive? On May 25th she will be making her last run to Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania and on June 22 and on August 17th will be leaving from Nesquehoning Pennsylvania
Yesterday I rode Brightline from MCO to Aventura. What a great experience! Big question: I read that each SCB-40 locomotive can carry 1600 gal of diesel. I could not find MPG or maximum range. What is the max range on these in the Orlando configuration (two Siemens Chargers + 4 passenger cars)?
Right now the trains can make at least two round trips a day between Orlando and Miami without having to refill since that is what each train does daily. Not sure if it could actually be 3-4 round trips or not since they get topped up nightly.
Hi,don´t you know when Brightline plan to add coaches to carry more passengers? Or are they still not full? I wonder if the two expensive locos and just 4 coaches have some economic perspective. Greetings from Czech republic.
Absolutely boring. No drama. Just the type of trainset going back and forth on the same track day after day after day. Which is exactly as it should be. Time to add some coaches and make longer, boring trains.
Nice shot at 7:17! Glad they are not covering the windows anymore. Thanks for this great video!

Finally got to see a few Brightline trains in person earlier this week!
Great action shots, great Drone work! Excellent! But then again, you’ve always been the BEST!

No but steam locomotives aren’t really my thing…
Looking good - have any of the model train companies made an official bright line east train/train set yet?
No

They have more cars on order, it’s just a matter of having them manufactured and delivered.
