All Aboard Florida’s Brightline will start carrying passengers between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale in late July, a company executive said Friday.

The company plans to launch service between Fort Lauderdale and Miami in August or September, Brightline’s Chief Marketing Officer Julie Edwards told a group of planning officials and business leaders gathered at the Hilton West Palm Beach on Friday.

Edwards was speaking at the West Palm Beach Development and Investment Forum held by the Urban Land Institute for Southeast Florida and the Caribbean.

Brightline’s ticket rates have not been released.

Brightline’s second passenger train, dubbed BrightPink because of the color of the markings on its passenger cars, left California this week and is expected to arrive in West Palm Beach next week.

The company unveiled its first train, BrightBlue, at a special event in West Palm Beach earlier this year.

The trains are being built at Siemens’ manufacturing hub in Sacramento, California. In all, five trains are expected to arrive in South Florida before the company launches the first leg of its passenger service this summer.

Eventually, Brightline plans to expand service north to Orlando.

Track work for the second phase of the project, which runs between West Palm Beach and Orlando, has not yet begun. Treasure Coast leaders are challenging that stretch of the project, and have filed a federal lawsuit to block bonds that the company had planned to use to pay for the construction.

Brightline officials have said it will take about 2 years from the start of construction for the company to complete the West Palm Beach to Orlando leg.
