The line will include a Walt Disney World Resort station in Orlando.

Once complete, the train will travel from Miami to Orlando International Airport. The tracks at MCO have already been laid.

To achieve the trip in under 3 hours, the Cocoa-Orlando line is proposed to operate at high speeds of up to 125 mph. From Miami to West Palm Beach, trains will reach speeds of up to 79 mph. From West Palm to Cocoa, it’s a maximum speed of 110 mph.

Stay tuned as we continue covering the ongoing construction of the Brightline high-speed railway!

  1. Im so excited. I cant wait to board the train early am, take a nap all the way up, and wake up minutes to the magic kingdom. !!! Just wondering if anyone has heard what tickets on the train from Miami will cost.

  2. 3 hours…. But people don’t live at the downtown Miami train station. Add time to get from your home by car, uber or mass transit. Then transfer your luggage to the train, oh and you will have to be at the station ahead of the scheduled departure time to check in and board. Then you are whisked away at 79 miles an hour briefly hitting 125 at some point drama and when you get there you’re at the airport. Eventually maybe you’re going to be at Disney. But now you have no car with you, so you have to take the time to go rent a car or take an Uber or the bus to your destination. None of which is free and quick and easy with your luggage. Eventually, theoretically, he’ll be a Disney station and if you just want to go to Disney, and not go to Universal or any of the other things in the Orlando area I guess you can do without ground transportation but the new overall scheme of things it’s much easier to load your luggage into the trunk of your car drive directly to your destination in Orlando. And I don’t think you will pick any more time than the high-speed train actual door-to-door. And you’ll be paying much more for the privilege of riding a train especially for a family of four,

    • Exactly. Mass transit is rarely competitive with personal car transportation on either a cost or time basis even with massive taxpayer funded subsidies. However, it is quite handy for enriching the politically well connected….
