    All I know about the service is that its route runs from Miami north using the FEC main through Ft. Lauderdale and terminates in West Palm Beach. Impressively, the entire venture is funded with private capital and an eventual extension to Orlando is planned. [Not my photo]

    Yes, more streamlined and better looking. GE's Genesis noses are angular and ugly. Seiman's Amtrak products are better, but still not a smooth curve. Brightlines' have a smooth graceful curve, pretty. However, EMD's Es and Fs had classic authoritative front ends. Oh well, they call to ask my opinion. :rolleyes:
