First 125mph Brightline Test Train on the Orlando Line

On March 2nd, 2023, Brightline ran their first test train at 125mph on a portion of the new Orlando Line. This is the maximum speed for this new line stretching from Orlando International Airport to Cocoa. This train made several trips at this high speed while also testing braking and acceleration.

This is so beautiful. Welcome to the 21st century Florida!
Outstanding content man!

Always a good sign when a train is outrunning cars on the freeway.

This is the most under-rated channel on all of YouTube! This is life-changing infrastructure being built from ground up, documented completely. I feel this channel should 10-100x more views!

At 73, there's very little that excites me anymore, however, I am extremely excited about Brightline. Great job Brightline!!!

This job was simultaneously the most exciting and stressful construction contract that I've ever been a part of. Thank you for covering it so well! I work next to it every day but because I still have to work I'm not able to fully appreciate the fruits of my labor as shown in this video

Thanks for the coverage Austin. Everybody covered the 130 mph run today, but as always, your video is the best!

Amazing that I began watching these videos in mid-2021. I don’t even think the Cocoa tunnel was finished at that point.

Historic milestone right here. Just hope the grand opening of the line is a day I can fly in from California to see!

I find it very cool how it sounds just like the ACS-64’s when they’re at their top speed on the Northeast Corridor

47 years ago the Inter City 125 became the fastest diesel passenger train in the world, clocking 148mph in testing. Those Paxman Valenta engines sounded superb throbbing and screaming...scary actually. I wonder if the Chargers can do this today ?
Super happy for Brightline and your coverage, these marvelous trains will be passing my back yard soon. It made my expat heart so happy to see them on test on our stretch of track late last year.

I got goose bumps seeing this, it's bitter sweet that we the USA are just now experiencing an actual high speed train IN 2023!

[vinhpham]

I have been keeping up with this project for almost four years now, back when they were called Virgin Trains USA. So excited to see the Orlando Line go through high-speed testing and I cannot wait to use it as part of a trip to visit Orlando and Miami later this year!

[mushieslushie]

This is amazing. Now I can't wait for the Tampa line to eventually operate and hopefully also continue to inspire more routes throughout the US.

Very exciting. Thank you so much for your years of dedication in documenting this landmark railroad.

All the hard work for all your videos is very much appreciated.

[teddynielsen]

You deserve an award for your extremely comprehensive coverage of the construction of the new line. I’m looking forward to your Orlando to Tampa extension coverage.

[keyanmakarowa]

Bro the train is leaving dust behind 😮 I can’t wait for the new Orlando line to open up so I can go that fast!!!

[Roman-hxqj]

We need this all over the country. Heck wouldn’t it be great to have this type of transport from Canada to the Patagonia!

[Joshua]

Fantastic camera work it’s both cool and weird seeing a high speed train all the way down here in Florida

[johncamp]

I just love the “aircraft”/“Indy-500” sounds!! Very nice photography— you should make Brightline pay for a faster drone!!

[WizenedVariations]

Nobody has covered Brightline better than you have! (and others do pop up, but none near as professional.)
