My wife and I rode it from Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach in March of 2018. Nice train and very nice/helpful employees. The main problem seemed to be the many crossings through residential areas, which had resulted in some crossing deaths. This would probably be why our 40 minute trip took over an hour. High speed? Forget it. It now connects up with Miami. Why they plan to hook it up with Orlando is beyond me. There are already 2 Amtrak trains going north, and 2 going south, each day out of Miami. Yes, a rail link to Disney would be nice, but you don't need BrightLine to build it.
