There's LYNX bus service (Route 111) that runs from the Sand Lake Road Sun Rail station to the Orlando Airport. It runs from 5am to 10:30pm on the weekdays. There's 30 minute service during the peak hours (5am-9am). While the bus service is nice, I wouldn't mind seeing an all day shuttle that...
So what happens to the consist? I would assume the engine gets towed to the AutoTrain station in Sanford. Would the remaining part of the train stay somewhere in a siding near Lakeland so that they can attach it to todays 92?
It appears FDOT is holding a virtual workshop to extend SunRail to Lakeland. There could be 7 additional stops. You can view the study at the url below.

If they are going to extend it to Lakeland they might as well add an additional 3 stops and extend...
Brightline has their "Buzzer Beater" service in Miami. It's not on the schedule however there is a train that leaves from Miami going north 30 minutes after Miami Heat home games. Maybe they could test a southbound train to Miami that leaves Orlando at 11:30pm. If the theme parks close at 10pm...

Weekdays:
(Southbound): From Orlando starting at 5am (first train arrives at 8:30am). Last train south is 8:50pm
(Northbound): From Miami starting at 6:50am (first train...

So I see that there's interest in starting a train from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Would it be possible to just run it all the way through to Baton Rouge instead of having it end in New Orleans...
So there's already LYNX service from MCO to SeaWorld/Universal.
LYNX Route 11 serves the Sand Lake Rd SunRail Station during peak hours (5:30am-8am and 4pm-7pm M-F) every 30 minutes.
LYNX Route 111 services the Sand Lake Rd SunRail Station as well as SeaWorld from MCO. Service runs every 30...
AFAIK The City of Tampa has issued mandatory evacuations for Zone A. I know that Uceta Yard is in Zone A and the Tampa Bypass Canal is about 500 meters from the yard. Maybe they move the engines to Winston Yard.
Maybe Atlanta to Miami via Augusta and Savannah. Once it gets to Savannah you just have it follow the same route as the Silver Star to Miami. Then have the Silver Meteor go down the FEC to Miami after it leaves Jacksonville.
It might add some time but have it go through Athens and build a...
