Comprehensive maintenance performed by highly skilled Siemens technicians, who use proven solutions and the latest in Tom Rutkowski digital monitoring and analysis, helps keep the fleet running on schedule every day. VP of Engineering and Chief Mechanical Officer Client Objectives Brightline Brightline envisioned offering the ultimate passenger experience when it partnered with Siemens on the custom design of its five Venture trainsets. It also wanted to ensure on-time travel to make the train a real alternative to car trips bogged down by South Florida’s intense highway traffic. As manufacturing on the first trainset began in July 2015, Brightline recognized that a cutting-edge maintenance program would be crucial to keeping its trains on schedule. It would also be necessary to keep all five of its initial trainsets in running order during service hours. To ensure this high level of availability, Brightline signed a 30-year agreement to make Siemens its maintenance partner for the long term. Brightline began revenue service in January 2018. The maintenance program was up and running by then, operating out of a renovated depot in West Palm Beach that was updated to meet the special requirements of quick turnaround service.

  • Green Bond Framework Introduction
    Green Bond Framework Introduction Brightline Holdings LLC ( “Brightline”, the “Company”, “us” or “we”) owns and operates an express passenger rail system connecting major population centers in Florida, with plans to expand operations further in Florida, Las Vegas and elsewhere in North America. We are the first new major private passenger intercity railroad in the United States in over a century, and we believe our business represents a scalable model for twenty-first century passenger travel in North America. We currently operate between Miami and West Palm Beach, one of the most heavily traveled and congested regions in the U.S. We have commenced construction of the expansion of our Florida passenger rail system to Orlando, Florida, and we intend to further expand our rail service to Tampa, Florida. Louis Berger estimates the total potential addressable market of travelers across our Miami to Tampa corridor to be approximately 413 million trips annually. We can operate up to 32 trains daily that are capable of speeds of up to 125 miles per hour, and we own stations located in the heart of downtown cities and major transit hubs in Florida. We believe our passenger rail system offers travel that is faster, safer, more eco-friendly, more reliable, less expensive, more productive and more enjoyable than travel by car or air. On March 5, 2019, we acquired DesertXpress Enterprises, LLC and certain related assets (the ‘‘XpressWest Acquisition’’), including the rights to develop a high-speed rail project within a corridor between Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada. The XpressWest Acquisition provides us with the opportunity to develop, operate and connect Las Vegas with Southern California by means of a new passenger rail system (the “Vegas Expansion”).

  • RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
    2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.

  • Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service in the United States
    Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service in the United States Updated February 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45783 SUMMARY R45783 Improving Intercity Passenger Rail Service February 8, 2021 in the United States Ben Goldman The federal government has been involved in preserving and improving passenger rail service Analyst in Transportation since 1970, when the bankruptcies of several major railroads threatened the continuance of Policy passenger trains. Congress responded by creating Amtrak—officially, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation—to preserve a basic level of intercity passenger rail service, while relieving private railroad companies of the obligation to maintain a business that had lost money for decades. In the years since, the federal government has funded Amtrak and, in recent years, has funded passenger-rail efforts of varying size and complexity through grants, loans, and tax subsidies. Most recently, Congress has attempted to manage the effects on passenger rail brought about by the sudden drop in travel demand due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Amtrak’s ridership and revenue growth trends were suddenly upended, and passenger rail service in many markets was either reduced or suspended. Efforts to improve intercity passenger rail can be broadly grouped into two categories: incremental improvement of existing services operated by Amtrak and implementation of new rail service where none currently exists. Efforts have been focused on identifying corridors where passenger rail travel times would be competitive with driving or flying (generally less than 500 miles long) and where population density and intercity travel demand create favorable conditions for rail service.
