I went down to my second home of Winter Park this weekend to visit my family, and I noticed something different as I turned on Virginia Dr. from Orange Ave., a signal bridge. For a very long time the Double Track between SEDT-Orlando and NEDT-Winter Park has been single direction ABS. Well I took a look at the Signal Bridge and it's all wired up for bi-driectional operation with a signal for each track in each direction. Now the running theory is that this could be a pre-cursor to a Commuter rail project which would almost certainly require bi-directional CTC, plus more Double Track outside this 5 mile stretch. There could be a light at the end of the tunnel...
