Arriving back in #Orlando after a long loop through South Florida, about 18 minutes later than the scheduled ETA. A fun, fast-paced and historic journey on the rails with #Brightline that will be long remembered. #OBJBrightline
Just north of Melbourne, and I just discovered another bank of outlets between the seats. In the jockeying between #Brightline trains, planes and automobiles, score this one solidly for the trains. #OutletsToSpare#OBJBrightline
A little over 100 miles from our destination in #Orlando , and the #Brightline train is stopped over a crossing malfunction. Our chances of arriving on time (4:19 p.m.) appear slim. #OBJBrightline
Just spoke with Peter Vansiclen, from Fort Lauderdale, who’s headed to a convention in #Orlando. Excited to be on #Brightline, but there were some bumps getting here. #OBJBrightline
The #Brightline train is between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and the wifi again is pretty spotty. Coming south this morning, this the leg where I had to make several posts via cellular. #OBJBrightline
Already arriving in Fort Lauderdale at 1:20 p.m. on the northbound #Brightline train. No one is lined up in the fourth coach car to get off. #OBJBrightline
Enjoying the layover in #Miami before the return to #Orlando , and I’m hungry. Funny thing is, there are no eateries open at 11 am (not the bar) behind security at the #Brightline station, and the food court is shuttered. So it’s a really tasty latte downstairs. #OBJBrightline
Getting ready to depart on the 12:46 p.m. return trip to #Orlando , and this #Brightline train is considerably more full than the one that left Orlando at 6:45 this morning. #OBJBrightline
This is what 126 mph looks like, out the window of the #Brightline train bound for #Miami. Last time I was going (not quite) this fast on wheels was that senior skip day jaunt to St. Augustine back in high school! #OBJBrightline
