Brightline at West Palm Beach (3) - 23 October 201…

23 Oct 2018 1 66
Brightline is an express intercity higher-speed rail system operating since January 2018 in South Florida. There are plans to extend the service to Cocoa Beach and Orlando. Shared use of the upgraded Florida East Coast Railway (freight train corridor) means that West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale stations are more conveniently located for the cities they serve than the Amtrak/Tri-Rail stations further inland (west). The trainsets currently consist of four coaches with a Siemens Mobility Charger SCB-40 diesel-electric locomotive at each end. The sets will be extended for service to Orlando and more locomotives acquired. No. 109 is seen leaving West Palm Beach with the 1200 service to Miami. No. 102 is the trailing locomotive. 200_3_P1080309R
