“To see these trains begin to arrive is just so exciting,” said Michael Cegelis, Brightline executive vice president, development and construction. “It spurs us on through that last 30% of construction we have to complete.”
Officials said Brightline’s Orlando extension project is currently 70% complete.
Brightline’s Orlando extension project which covers 170-miles from West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport and will connect Miami to Orlando via high-speed rail is expected to be completed in 2023.
