I was watching this video, and it was mentioned that some of the cars were shuttled to South Florida from Orlando. I am curious, what does Brightline use for ferrying around rolling stock, and for work trains? Do they use the locomotives they use for passenger service, or do they borrow some "workhorse" diesels from FEC?
Brightline currently has no need for work trains, as they are a tenant on FEC’s railroad. FEC maintains the infrastructure.
I don’t know who will perform infrastructure maintenance on the new line from Cocoa to MCO after it opens.
As for ferrying equipment, they just use the passenger locomotives to pull the passenger cars.
