[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Well volks, the slippage continues: https://therealdeal.com/miami/2017/07/01/all-aboard-florida-delays-brightline-launch/ Fair Use: [i][list] [*]All Aboard Florida has delayed the startup of its Brightline passenger train service. The Brightline service had been scheduled to start between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach in August and to include service to Miami in September. All Aboard Florida now expects to hold a grand opening for its Brightline rail service sometime in fall. The service is expected to extend from South Florida to Orlando by 2019 [/i] [/list] The landscape is a might bit different than when the program was announced, as both the railroad over which AAF were to operate were one in same. Now the railroad is owned by Mexican interests, and AAF remains owned by the "shell" remaining of FEC Industries. The Treasure Coast opposition has hardly been appeased, and the ability to obtain financing for the West Palm-Cocoa segment - let alone the new ROW into McCOy, is hardly done deal - especially since Fortress - now owned by Japanese interests - has no connection anymore with either the railroad or AAF. I think even the optimists must accept that there are storm clouds ahead - and I think anyone knows "it hasn't a prayer" as some kind of Miami-WP "Super Shuttle". [/QB][/QUOTE]
