Miami Today, 2/13/18:
 

Brightline, Miami huddle on making rail line safer

 

 

A steady flow of passenger trains will be returning to downtown Miami soon and city officials are concerned about public safety.

 

The train, which is rolling up to 79 mph, is expected to begin its link to Miami in the early months of this year.

 

Since its January start, four people have been hit by a Brightline train, resulting in two deaths. In each case the pedestrians went around barricades, according to authorities.

 

On Feb. 8, Miami city commissioners discussed concerns, particularly that the brand new train travels much faster than older, conventional trains.
