Thanks Urban Impact for the answer, hopefully Brightline will continue implementing quad gates in all the West Palm Beach to Orlando route. I really think this should be a bear minimum.

I don’t agree with you. Whether local communities opposed the project or not should not be an excuse for anything. If the local communities voted against the project, that should be a more compelling reason for authorities to request Brightline to spent some cents in this stuff to at least alleviate some of the concerns. I’m pretty sure trains before 1900 were slower than 110 mph.
