Riding the NEW brightline Train- Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach, Florida
In this video I describe my experience riding the New Brightline train which opened for passenger service between Fort Lauderdale and west Palm Beach in January 2018, as the only privately owned and operated passenger railroad in the United States (HUGE). features are- Leather seats, wide aisles, bike racks, free wireless Internet - with two power outlets and two USB ports per seat. Brightline says will appeal to its target customers, which include tourists, business travelers and Millennials. Hope you enjoy the video, and if you are in the South Florida area, the location is in Fort Lauderdale, I95 (Exit) East (Broward) Blvd (Left on 2nd Ave) Enjoy! Thanks for supporting me!

It’s now 3 years later, I live in Orlando and have been watching the building of the extension up north here. I’m getting excited about riding Brightline round trip Orlando to Miami soon. Good video, thanks.
This PayYourSelfBack video was very informative. I'm looking forward to more videos.

Thanks for your service and enjoyed the video! Glad you liked Brightline and they are currently testing the trains that go into downtown Miami on that 50 foot high elevated train bridge & station. Looking forward to the last segment to Orlando.

Good video...I actually took the Brightline to Miami in December 2018 and when the taxi drove up to the Brightline station in Fort Lauderdale I was already impressed by the outside look of the station and then when I went inside was impressed as well.

I think it has changed a bit since I put out this video because Miami wasn't available during that time. Thanks for you comment!!
It has the potential to reach 125mph but right now its governed to 79mph, once extended to Orlando it wiil do 110mph on that stretch

Actually 125 to Orlando not 110...
Very cool.
The plans are to have Brightline trains run express from Miami to Orlando, which would be great for east coast Floridians who have annual passes for Walt Disneyworld! Did they trains run 100+ mph like promised? Great to see Donna help you out like that! So NOT like the MTA in NYC, or SEPTA in Philly! LOL
Glad I found your channel I’m relocating from Maryland to Palm Beach after I finish Grad school in a few months to be with my family I’m extremely nervous

Sooo much better than the damn MTA in the city
Beautiful train, looks like fun, thanks for the vid. One comment: constant background music was a bit loud, made it hard for me to hear some of your words. But actually no big deal.

Thanks Emery! I've been here for 2 years now and have learned a lot about Florida in that short amount of time. I like Florida for various reasons, but I wouldn't sell my home to move here. That's just my opinion.
I see this train pass by everyday lol
Hope they include Hollywood as a stop later on down the line. I would love to be able to hop on their train to go see my daughter in Miami instead of having to ride Greyhound with their limited schedules. :-(
I have a timeshare in Ft Lauderdale...Big Daddy is on his way and yes, I have the app on my phone.
I need to download this app tonite cause I hate drive I-4 it's a killer..
do the seats have usb chargering ports?
C-Los you say your a car guy have you been to any car shows or the drag racing events???
Bro, thanks for this info, I've been looking for an economical way to get to West Palm from Ft. Lauderdale, how far is the train from Ft. Lauderdale airport? Thanks in advance🖒

It's my pleasure to provide this information bro. It's about 6-7 miles from the Ft Lauderdale airport. I would hit 595W to I-5N and get off on Broward Blvd going East which is not far at all...if I had to guess; your talking maybe 15 minutes or so.

Is there any way to contact you sir ?I just have a few serious questions please
stop by the swap shop, it's a big outdoor market. i really should go more, the owner pass away.
I work across from the tracks this train runs on and that sucker is always empty. No idea how they make money. I'm in Hollywood and it definitely goes to Miami and back at least it heads in that direction.
