Brightline officially opened its doors January 13th, 2018 with its introductory Ft.lauderdale to West Palm Beach service. Bright Red and Pink were running. We took the 9:25 train in Smart to WPB, the first ever northbound Brightline, and the 12:30 Southbound on Select class. It was an amazing day seeing history being made on America's best passenger rail, and I look forward to making many more Brightline journeys.

A manifest train came out of a crew change then stopped, a Rock train passed it, and then the manifest continues. If anyone knows what the rock train is for, please comment below, thanks!
Trains pull in and out of crew change's and head east and west from Cheyenne's busy yard, a major crew change point on the union pacific transcontinental railroad route.
Most trains stop in Cheyenne for crew changes, this one being no exception. With a loud squeal, this train entering the yard fast stops for a crew change, then continues east.
