Meanwhile, yes, it's official says Miami Today: after some close calls, Tri-Rail will be joining the party. "The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority’s governing board has voted to accept an agreement among local agencies that will allow Tri-Rail trains to roll into the new MiamiCentral station by the end of next year." From recent construction shots, dated May 24th, over at The Brightline's snazzy AF website, it looks like station construction, to accommodate both Brightline and Tri-Rail trains, is going just swimmingly.
