I do not have an article, but Miami-Dade County today agreed to pay for the Aventura station. One additional requirement is that any development on that site must be 100% workforce housing. Miami-Dade County will own the land, so Virgin does not have to be the developer of that housing per se. It wa...
July 2019 vs July 2018: Ridership - 83,741 +61% (52,162) Revenue - $1.7 million +73% ($1 million) It also looks like ticket prices will dramatically increase on October 1st, likely in anticipation of snow bird season. https://emma.msrb.org/ER1248477-ER976238-ER1377491.pdf August 2019 (2018): Riders...

You don't even need to ride south of D.C. as Amtrak has opened up roomettes for travel between NYP and DC (and intermediate stops) on southbound long distance trains.
The June 2018 numbers are reported in the June 2019 document - https://emma.msrb.org/ES1292024-ES1011003-ES1412346.pdf June 2018: Ridership - 48,619 Average fare per passenger - $12.85 ($15.12 in 2019) Ticket Revenue: $600,000 Ancillary Revenue: $200,000 Total Revenue: $800,000 Looks like revenue is...
I think they still have to consider if I have 10 sleepers and 1 is open, and passenger A wants to go from NYP to Miami, and passenger B wants to go from NYP to WAS, if passenger B buys first, Amtrak loses out. I like the idea of selling space on the LD trains on the NEC on a space available basis, ...
Any update on this “Amtrak” station. I was there today and still its showing a letter that Amtrak is not serving this station. It's pretty safe to say that it will serve an even less useful purpose than the new Viewliner dining cars...as in, it likely ain't gonna happen (especially under the curren...
There is a Tropicana plant that the FEC serves just west of the Turnpike along the K-line. I do believe that South Central Florida Express (the sugar cane train) makes at least weekly trips up to Fort Pierce, but I don't know what exactly the loads are (it's certainly not cane which is just transpor...
IPO shelved for now

Brightline says alternative financing sources became available. Read into it as you wish.
Thanks for the report.
I would recommend getting off Metrorail at Overtown to connect with Brightline. From there, it is a pretty short walk to the station.
I agree with you about the ice box on the new Metrorail equipment. I don’t know why they can’t get the temperature right.
Miami Dade Transit Route L serves Amtrak and Miami Beach (although it does not go all the way to South Beach). https://www8.miamidade.gov/transportation-publicworks/routes_detail.asp?route=112" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Alternatively, you could get off Amtrak at Hollywo...
I don't think those schedules on the FEC site will help much, since it's mainly for shippers and when they need to have their trucks dropped off. Off the top of my head, I know train #101 leaves Jacksonville around 1 pm, and normally goes through here around 7 or 8 pm. Train #202 also leaves Miami a...
Fair to say that this thread doesn’t even belong in this forum? FEC Railway and FEC Industries have been separate for a while now, and Brightline has made their first push outside Florida.
I'll take a stab, since it has been a couple weeks and no one else has answered. When I last rode about 7 years ago, we stopped before the crossover and the operator called a dispatcher (not sure if it was directly CSX or a TECO dispatcher who gets permission from CSX). I think there is also a signa...
