America's deadliest railroad: Florida's Brightline passenger service is expanding rapidly as the state booms - but its track fatality rate is THREE TIMES higher than nation's second-worst line
2024-01-22
A three times higher accident rate?
Poss a 3 times higher travel rate?
Good, consistent, oblivious ped and gate crosser performance.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Florida's Brightline train has brought higher-speed rail to the Sunshine State

  • But is vexed by fatal collisions with pedestrians and motorists at crossings

  • Per mile traveled, the line has the highest fatality rate of any US railroad

  • At least 108 people have died on Brightline tracks since it began operations in 2017, roughly one death for every 38,000 miles traveled, three times higher than the second-worst railroad
