Brightline Launches In Florida, Eyes Expansion To Other States
Pundits predicted that a privately-funded passenger rail system in Florida would fail to materialize. Those predictions were wrong, and now company officials are eyeing regional expansion.
The first train from the United States' first new private passenger rail system in more than a century, left the station at 9:35 a.m. on January 12, 2018. Despite the initial service being limited to a 40-minute trip between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Brightline officials are already exploring massive expansion possibilities.
