Fictional Brightline High-Speed Train Test Drive @200+mph! American Bullet Train
In this video, we'll be looking at a new cab I made for the American Bullet Train. We'll also be looking at a new locomotive and cab car for the Brightline American Bullet Train. This particular train will run on one of the longest routes on my fictional American Bullet Train. The "Keys" Line. This line starts at Washington, D.C. - Union Station, then it runs past Virginia Beach, travels down the Outer Banks, travels down the South Carolina coast, travels along the Georgia coast, then travels along the Florida East Coast Line. It then travels to Key West. An extension to this line allows the train to continue along the Florida Keys to the Dry Tortugas Lighthouse, but this extension doesn't operate during hurricane season.
This version of the train, which is slightly different than previous versions is called, "Der Herausforderer" (The Challenger)
