What is the super fast train in Florida?

Brightline Florida: A Model for Intercity Regional Rail Brightline recently launched a new corridor linking Orlando and Miami with the fastest American trains outside the Northeast. The trains, with a 125-mph top speed, have already shown that Americans will ride fast, frequent, and reliable trains.



The "super fast" train in Florida is Brightline, the only privately owned and operated intercity rail system in the United States. In 2026, Brightline connects Miami and Orlando in approximately 3.5 hours, reaching top speeds of 125 mph (201 km/h) on its dedicated tracks between Cocoa and Orlando International Airport. On the shared coastal tracks between Miami and West Palm Beach, it travels at a maximum of 79 mph. Brightline is currently working on an extension to Tampa, which is expected to utilize the I-4 corridor. The service is known for its high-end amenities, including "PREMIUM" lounges with free food and drinks, level boarding for easy luggage access, and sleek, modern stations. It has become a model for future regional high-speed rail projects in the U.S., such as the Brightline West project currently under construction between Las Vegas and Southern California.
