Construction Notice:

Per the federal train horn rule, the locomotive engineer is required to sound the horn if there is construction occurring within the railway corridor or in emergency situations. While certain areas of the FEC Railway/Brightline corridor have established quiet zones, if construction is taking place or if there is an emergency situation, the locomotive engineer will follow the law and sound the horn. Safety is our top priority.

In preparation for train service between West Palm Beach and Orlando, Brightline will upgrade every at-grade, ground-level crossing along the FEC Railway to meet the highest safety standards. During these temporary closures, at-grade crossings will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Please check back for updates.
