110 MPH testing set to start Oct 17 north of Palm Beach on a short section of track. In St Lucia and Martin counties.

Pleased to note Sgt. Smith that Richard Branson's hideous "Virgin" motif is gone from Miami Central.

Good riddance; and I won't have to look at it when I "go down" come January and am planning a Brightline joyride.

Nice. Make sure to go all the way to West Palm. Fort Lauderdale is out in the middle of nowhere, whilst West Palm is downtown. Their shuttle service is also convenient should you decide to stop elsewhere.

A Ribeye at a Ruth's Chris within a half mile of the WPB station awaits (that's still a walk to this 81yo).

Also, a little "comp fueling up" on board in Select.

Now so far as Brightline "being away from it all" at FTL, probably just as well. A waterfront entertainment strip is to the South of the station. At Delray, where there is such a strip right next to the FEC and where there is no station stop and no speed restrictions, that's a "danger zone".
