This Sunrail construction update wraps up my coverage of the Deland Expansion. When filmed at the end of June, construction crews were complete with all of the major work and were just finishing up some minor tasks like painting and finalizing landscaping. Sunrail was also operating simulated service with regular test trains running between Debary and Deland.

Very nice video of our expansion to DeLand. I also enjoyed your videos of the Brightline expansion as well. I'm a locomotive engineer for Sunrail. Service is supposed to start on August 12th. Liked everyone else, I'm ready for the expansion to MCO. I can park at our station and park for free. Come ride with us!!!

Thanks for documenting this! Very cool to see our designs come to life

Everyone involved in the project did a very nice job, including yourself. The Deland station turned out especially nice.

Thank you for posting all about the Deland SunRail construction videos.

Thank you for adding directional arrows. It makes it so much easier to know which way we are looking

@RosLounge Месяц назад

OH MY GOD YES!! Thank you so much for documenting these.

It's an absolutely beautiful sight to see with all of this expansion. When I was down in Daytona Beach from 2014 to 2018 I never thought I'd actually see even from afar that SunRail would actually make the northward expansion to deland. So happy that it's finally done! RIP the horns tho

@skyscraper2856 Месяц назад

Great job as always. Thanks for all you do for us railfans.

@roboftherock Месяц назад

I concur.

This is a great summary of your wonderful series on this project! This kind of detail is not available anywhere else. The technical aspects of this video are superb! You have captured beautiful colors and light. How did you get the lights to come on during your station tour? Thanks!

As always, Austin, excellent work going above (literally) and beyond covering the changing railroad landscape. We are a far cry from when DeLand depot was a burned-out husk and one could hear the roar of lions whilst standing on the platform. Hopefully one day the train will make it to DeLand proper. But for now let us appreciate what we have.

@gablepatterson647 Месяц назад

So excited to see you cover the Sunshine Corridor Construction one of these days!

@joet7285 Месяц назад

Excellent conclusion to your Sunrail series, really gave a good overview of the entire addition of this new section and station. Thx for completing and posting it Austin. Now I can’t wait till they start the expansion hub to the airport. Then I will finally be able to make my monthly trips from South Florida to the Deland area without driving.

Somehow this new music reminds me of SimCity. Nice.

I am currently in a camper at the west end of 17th in Deland and HOLICANOLI lots of traffic here! Sunrail Amtrak and last night CSX .

@kedwards4377 Месяц назад

I like they left the ACL-era concrete milepost seen at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1573">26:13</a>. I think J 107 denotes 107 miles from Jacksonville.

@thomasthompson2899 Месяц назад

Has Votran decided to extend any of their bus lines to DeLand Station? Route 60 could provide direct service between DeLand and Daytona if extended.

@RoamingRailfan Месяц назад

Last I heard, they were still trying to figure something out.

@georgedoolittle7574 Месяц назад

Interesting to see includes a service road as well so no problem continuing to expand this line at all.

@twiggs24 Месяц назад

That turbo sound is music to my ears.

@dennisud Месяц назад

I'm hoping this is a success, because I live in Polk County and would love to see Sunrail extended to Lakeland with stops in Davenport and Winter Haven! BTW, will you be riding this from Orlando to Deland?

@LCCB Месяц назад

Always love watching your videos, thank you!

@u.s.6909 Час назад

This is like watching a video about model railroads instead this is <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> scale lol. I would love to see this whole line electrified .... basically I want the U.S. to have a train network that rivals China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland combined.

@Floridamadeaj Месяц назад

sunrails horn used to sound soo good when they first started service☹️

@HefTrade Месяц назад

Super cool! Any information about bus service to downtown Deland? I know it's not within walking distance from the station.

@RoamingRailfan Месяц назад

Last I heard they were still trying to figure it out

@ELAlcoRS3 27 дней назад

I've heard Deland is working on some local developments (housing, retail and restaurants) within walking distance of the station. Probably where some of the ajoining forested land is now.

@BradRains Месяц назад

Excellent coverage throughout the project. What might be the next big project that you cover?

@QALibrary Месяц назад

what a good update

@DTD110865 Месяц назад

I don't know when this is supposed to open, but I hope I'm nearby when does.

@JoeyLovesTrains Месяц назад

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="585">9:45</a> oh wow that horn sounds bad

@kennethhanks6712 Месяц назад

Has there been a determination on how many daily trains, at least initially, to Deland?

@RoamingRailfan Месяц назад

All Sunrail trains will run to Deland

@JamesGJGSUSHI Месяц назад

Dude this is so cool

@OhioCentralModeler Месяц назад

Is it just me, or does Sunrail have some of the wonkiest horns ever? Regardless it's great that his is complete, and I can't wait for the next project.

@leonwilson1405 Месяц назад

Thank you roving rail fan. Glad you're still at making those excellent videos.

@armandoperez7967 Месяц назад

Fantastic video! I can’t wait till they start expanding south to Auburndale.

@ThisMaineThing Месяц назад

Great video, do you know the new service speed, they didn't seem to be moving very fast

@RoamingRailfan Месяц назад

79mph

@HoraceBluenose Месяц назад

Nice drone work! Thanks for sharing. What engine is Sunrail using?

@jonathanaina7754 Месяц назад

It’s a Frankenstein of an engine. It’s an MP32PH-Q. It’s an MP45 cab with a GP32’s engine behind it

@gwharton68 Месяц назад

Great video. Florida is just like California, they leave the area lighting on all day.

@RoamingRailfan Месяц назад

I was there at sunset which is why they were on

@PlanesTrainsAutopilot Месяц назад

Looks great, always cool to see tax dollars building something useful.

@user-uv8wu8lq7q Месяц назад

Notice at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1552">25:52</a> that the signal has now changed to green, allowing the train to procede through the next control point.
