FIRST RIDE On TRI-RAIL To Downtown Miami! F40s, BL36PHs, Cabcar K5LAs, Gevos, ALC-42s & More 1-13-24

Today is a BIG day for Tri-Rail! After weeks of testing and years of delays, Tri-Rail is finally traveling to Miami Central Station with Brightline, and today was the first day that this service opened to the public. Join us as we travel on Tri-Rail to Metrorail Transfer, and then catch a few trains before boarding the shuttle to Miami Central, painted in a special blue paint scheme. After riding Tri-Rail back to Boynton Beach, we see a northbound Tri-Rail at Boynton Canal. Later, at the same spot, we see southbound Amtrak train P097-12, the SIlver Meteor with TWO ALC-42 locomotives finally leading a train! Gotta admit these units look cool in the dark.
