[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] IT'S OPENING DAY!! From my preferred news source for coverage of AAF affairs: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/all-aboard-for-brightline-inaugural-rail-run/JninDvly5vzncsaNn4zhAP Fair Use: [i][list] [*]A big yellow train at the platform, a smattering of celebratory statements and Brightline’s inaugural run set off Friday morning, dignitaries aboard, for a high-speed ride down the rails to Fort Lauderdale and back. Some politicos acknowledged disappointment the company failed to finish construction of whatever’s required for horn-free running but no protesters materialized. Mayor Jeri Muoio’s absence was the most visible expression of city annoyance at the rail line’s last-minute revelation it would continue blasting horns through intersections for at least a few more months before completing its Quiet Zone work. Nonetheless the mood was laudatory. “When you do something this bold, this big, you can’t expect everything to be perfect,” City Commissioner Paula Ryan told the gathering of officials at the launch. “This is going to change the feel of the city for 100 years [/i] [/list] OK, I concede; I never dreamed this day would come, but let's be honest, volks; what we have here at present is a Disneyland ride that hasn't a prayer of providing needed transportation through the Gold Coast region. Some may hold that serving Miami will make it economically viable as a Miami-WP "Super Shuttle". I contend otherwise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
