Death Train: A Timeline of Brightline Fatalities UPDATED A chronicle of dozens of Brightline train fatalities from suicides, cars stuck on the tracks, and pedestrian accidents. By Alex DeLuca December 22, 2023 The Associated Press says Brightline is the deadliest train system per mile in America. Photo courtesy of Brightline Share this: Within a few hours of returning to South Florida in November 2021, after a 20-month hiatus during the pandemic, Brightline was already off to a rough start. On November 8, 2021, the "higher-speed" train — which runs from West Palm Beach to Miami — slammed into a woman and her grandchild driving across the railroad tracks in Pompano Beach. Dubbed the deadliest train per mile in America by the Associated Press, Brightline has killed dozens of people across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in the years since its 2017 debut. New Times logged more than 30 pedestrian and motorist deaths caused by collisions with the company''s trains since January 2022. In August 2022, Brightline announced a $45 million federally funded project entailing the construction of "at least 33 miles of pedestrian protection features and supplemental safety measures." Brightline said it would upgrade its railway with fencing, better safety signage, and raised pavement markers, among other upgrades stretching from Brevard to Miami-Dade counties. In an interview with New Times in February, transportation safety advocate Mike Arias argued those safety features should have been in place in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties when Brightline service began years ago. The rail operator''s long-awaited, inaugural train service to Orlando kicked off September 22, but the trip was delayed after a pedestrian in Delray Beach was killed by another Brightline train heading south to Miami. Less than a week later, the death of a homeless man in St. Lucie County marked the first reported fatality on Brightline''s newly expanded route to Central Florida. Here is a timeline of Brightline deaths since the train service started: December 19, 2023 A courthouse employee was struck and killed by a Brightline train in downtown West Palm Beach, just across from the county courthouse. Police say 69-year-old Gary Millar was attempting to cross the railroad tracks when he was hit by the northbound train. Millar reportedly worked at the courthouse as a Spanish language interpreter. November 22, 2023 At around 5:30 p.m., a northbound Brightline train hit a man in east Boynton Beach near Palmetto Greens Linear Park. He died from his injuries. Hours later, another Brightline train hit an unoccupied vehicle in Jensen Beach, about an hour drive north of the first accident. Police say the driver in the second incident –– an elderly woman who witnesses say got stuck on the train tracks –– escaped before her car was crushed by the high-speed passenger train. A woman was reportedly able to escape her vehicle before it was obliterated by a Brightline train.
October 19, 2023 A 60-year-old Melbourne woman was fatally struck by a Brightline train after trying to walk across two sets of train tracks. Police say Lisa Molnar was attempting to cross the tracks around 2:45 p.m. when she was hit and killed by the train. Her death marked the first fatal Brightline accident in the city of Melbourne. 。。。。。。

预计 是关键字 😂
我赌2038年都完工不了
你一小时能开200英里？
一没钱，二没技术，用啥建啊？
不堵车。节假日往赌城开堵死
平均时速115英里，最高时速200英里。总长度218英里，需要2小时出头，确实不算快。
uber
到vegas 租啥车呀
LA得修四纵四横加环线地铁或轻轨才可以彻底解决交通问题
Rancho, 学区很好，华人不少
破坏力比政府大的组织在美国可多了去了
这条线很繁忙的
也可以打车啊，还省去停车费
周末这条线很堵的，平均每天都有数万人次开车通过这条线路
就是不知道这条线每天能发多少班次。佛州的好像一天16个来回，每班车可以承载240人。
如果是同一个承载量，也只是缓解目前的公路压力，并不能成为运载的主要交通工具。
还好啦，佛州的路线类似，好像也是4年通车的
这条线的大多数人直接去赌场，很多酒店就会有shuttle。大多数人在strip上活动，需要驱车的地方并不多
你不知道南加到Vegas是一条非常火的路线？另外南北加的高铁也有评估，项目预算好几倍啊，所以一直没通过
愿意做火车的完全可以把车子停到家附近的轻轨站，搭轻轨到union station
谢谢。
和chino hills 比怎样？
这个完全不能和中国比，人口密度差距大。国情也区别很大。能做到方便一部分人的出行就好了
如果数字没错的话，中国是380公里时速，这条是320公里时速，还好吧，差了15%。
看了下，京沪高铁运行速度350公里时速，那就差的很少了。对美国这个基本没高铁的国家来说，320不差了
115? 那不如开车呢。至少省了租车钱。
京沪线平均350.最快380. 得看美国这条高铁平均速度。这种短途的速度不够快完全没意义了。两头折腾打车拿行李安检也是时间。
哪里说是320公里时速了？
参考佛州BrightLine的话，时速160公里左右，使用现有有砟轨道，300多个道口都是平交，还做梦想300+公里时速？就那个道砟飞起来都能跟弹片似的打死人。真以为高铁随便修修就能用的？
最高时速200 而已 赌城到la哪段高速修的和机场跑道一样 好多年前 开到过一百多 完全没感觉
Based on the track record of Brightline in FL, it is quite possible that they can make it in 2028.
南加大量的人喜欢坐大巴去Vegas，高铁为啥就不行？
抬头看新闻
目前在版上的人，都有机会见证奇迹。
关键是没有意义，加州向内华达输血，更多人去消费？
民主党州的效率跟共和党州的效率可能不一样
共和党州还是歇歇吧，脑残州长的政绩工程。 Brightline离真正高速铁路十万八千里，几百个和公路的平面立交，防护墙也没有，三天两头撞死人，这叫高速铁路？、在原有矿渣轨道上开高速火车，只会死亡更多，难怪Brightline被称Deathline 高速铁路必须是全立交全封闭，佛罗里达4年啥也没做，就是死亡政绩工程

加州这段路值得修高铁， 这段路极其堵， 长周末的时候完全是从头堵到尾。 从LA出城后一般就不堵了， 包括开三番， 唯独去赌城的堵得要死。
200是极速，火车加减速慢。加上等车，下车后租车，真不一定比开车快。如果再有个中间站点就更慢了。
美国的问题是整个公共交通系统的残缺，单建一条高铁没有什么意义，城市内部的公交网络也要完整才能把高铁的优势发挥出来。否则去高铁站要开车，出高铁站要租车，比自己开车还麻烦。
预计2个半小时 east LA还得先花40-60分钟开车去rancho
新兴华人区 学区什么的都不错
少拿中国那套讲政治用在美国。市场经济，有需求就有供应。你不喜欢，有的是南加去Vegas的人。还输血这种中国式讲政治？
