Sailing from Port Canaveral and in search of a great way to get there from Orlando International Airport (MCO)? How about taking a prepare?
Florida’s Brightline has reached a milestone that makes it the quickest prepare in Florida. The prepare reached 130 mph throughout a check alongside a 35-mile stretch between Orlando International Airport and Cocoa, close to State Road 528.
“This is actually the train that went 130 miles an hour as our crews were testing over about a three-day period up from everywhere from 20 miles an hour up to 130,” Katie Mitzner with Brightline stated.
While the prepare received’t journey at 130 mph when common service begins in Orlando, Brightline stated it’s required to check sooner. The prepare will hit a most velocity of 125 mph.
“So these trains are high-speed trains running faster speeds than folks have ever seen here in the state of Florida,” Mitzner stated.
“Reaching 130 (mph) isn’t just another milestone to our team, but the continuation of a dream that we’ve been working towards for several years,” stated the president of Brightline Trains Patrick Goddard. “More importantly, this historic feat brings us one step closer to launching Brightline service between Orlando and Miami.”
The Orlando station is about to open this 12 months and take passengers between South and Central Florida in three hours. More info on full transportation plans, together with a prepare experience, coming quickly.
