Travelers can officially ride a high-speed train from Orlando to Miami. After years in the making, Brightline on Friday launched its first trains from Orlando and Miami on the grand opening of its new connecting service. The rail system provides service between Miami and Orlando International Airport, with stops throughout South Florida. The high-speed train travels up to 125 mph, cutting off about 30 minutes of drive time between the two places.
Read the full article. Amtrak’s northeast corridor Acela has a top speed of 150 mph, but like the new Florida train, it only reaches that speed in relatively short stretches. In the videos below, rail aficionados review the ride, the seating, the stations, the passenger lounges, and the food options.
