Here is the Tri-rail update I promised you. The only supporting evidence I could find was in the press release issued by Gov. Jeb today…
The CSX/State deal will now enable the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority to control the dispatching of passenger and freight trains along the 81 mile Tri-Rail route. This should result in much smoother Tri-rail operations and will allow dispatchers to give the trains priority along the lines. The new agreement could also open up the CSX lines to further growth in Southern Miami-Dade County. This could prove to be very beneficial to Miami residents, however, part of the CSX lines travel west of the UDB boundary which means that our local politicians may try to open up that land for further sprawl once the trains get rolling…
