Yesterday marked a milestone for the high-speed train in Brevard and Orange counties.
Though not for the first time, the train made it to maximum speeds during testing in Central Florida.
We're #OnTrackToOrlando as we perform test runs along the 528 corridor with trains reaching speeds of 125 MPH between Cocoa and Orlando.

The train hit its top speed of 125 miles per hour along the tracks during testing between State Road 417 and State Road 520.
The rail service will eventually connect the Orlando International Airport to South Florida, and Brightline officials anticipate passenger service will begin within the next couple of months.
