ORLANDO
Orlando International Airport has announced plans to offer passenger rail service from the airport to Miami by 2015.
In discussions held at the June meeting of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the board was asked to consider a request by Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) to develop the project.
The privately-owned FECI plans to add approximately 40 miles of new track that will link Orlando to the company’s 200 miles of rail infrastructure already in place. The passenger rail service will be called All Aboard Florida.
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates the gateway, has already invested in infrastructure for a station that could accommodate up to four rail systems.
