The high-speed rail connects Central and South Florida, but an expansion to Tampa could be on the way.

A new report says the U.S. has seen an increase in the number of a certain kind of derailment related to the forces created when railcars push and pull against each other as freight trains have gotten longer.

Moving forward with the future of SunRail was a key point in a meeting Thursday afternoon with FDOT and the local partners.

A grand opening celebration is planned at the new SunRail station in DeLand just days before service is set to begin, connecting the quaint city to points south, all the way to Poinciana.

Hopeful train hoppers up in DeLand will soon be able to try out SunRail.

The National Transportation Safety Board said Saturday it will investigate two crashes that involved a Brightline train and killed a total of three people at the same railroad crossing on the high speed train’s route between Miami and Orlando.

Beachline will test its trains at speeds reaching 125 mph.

Testing runs parallel to Beachline throughout spring

Florida Department of Transportation spokesperson David Parks said the goal this week is to show drivers across Central Florida just how easy it is to not get hit by a train by simply paying attention to existing road markings and signs.

Starting Sunday, Brightline crews will ramp up test runs along a portion of newly double-tracked rail corridor in Brevard County — with trains accelerating up to 79 mph, according to News 6 partner Florida Today.
