America's 250th Anniversary

Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary with the Freedom Express Train.

Brightline unveils a commemorative Freedom Express train, in partnership with America250, which features 10 moments in United States history. The 10-coach Freedom Express train set celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the nationwide America250 commemoration taking place in 2026.

July 4, 1776 was a day that sparked freedom, innovation, connection, and independence. From horse and carriages that took our founding fathers on their journeys, all the way to the higher-speed, innovative transportation experience Brightline delivers to thousands of Guests every day, America’s rail experience has been built on the very same values our nation embodies: connection, innovation, and sustainability. Take a look at how Brightline will celebrate this milestone:
