Trains killed 5 just this month after resuming service. I think that makes 53 deaths with cars/pedestrians since service began in 2017. It holds the title for the most fatalities along its route of any railroad line in the US. The problem is the at-grade crossings at virtually every block with little to no fencing along its route and running on a line that was built for cargo trains.

The recent deaths have all occurred in the last month, continuing a trend that shows Brightline to have the worst fatality rate among the country’s approximately 800 railroads since it began test runs in mid-2017, according to an Associated Press analysis of Federal Railroad Administration data.
