Yesterday, driving down SW 7th Street at about 5:15 in the afternoon, I saw something I had never seen before: A passenger train on the FEC tracks. It was the Brightline train, on what I assumed was a test run. And I wondered if all the people who have been complaining about the return of passenger trains to the downtown tracks will nevertheless be relieved, when stopped at a crossing, to discover it's not another endless freight train.
