Florida’s new high-speed train makes 1st test run to Orlando airport
Local News Staff 
The rail service known as Brightline, which currently services stations between Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, ran its first test into the new terminal on Tuesday. The black and yellow train called Bright Blue 2 rolled onto the platform at the Intermodal Terminal Facility accompanied by engine roar, train whistles and flashing lights.
While no passengers were on board during the test, project engineer Jerome Hall was there to offer his thoughts about the milestone. “To be able to have higher-speed premium passenger rail service here in the Orlando region and connecting down to Miami is the future,” he said. “For the past four years … we’ve been dreaming and working tirelessly toward this goal with design and construction.”
