Due to the upcoming Hurricane Milton, Tri-Rail and Amtrak in Florida have suspended operations entirely this Wednesday & Thursday.
According to the SFRTA safety plans, train crossing gates must be secured whenever their are winds of 39 mph.
Officials have stated that service will be continued until the last train of the night on Tuesday evening, and that service is expected to begin Friday morning.
In addition, Brightline, a rather new high-speed carrier, is also halting service between West Palm Beach and Orlando until they determine it is safe to continue operating trains.
My hope is that any destruction that comes with the storm will not be too violent, and I send my luck to Florida and neighboring states.
