This photo is again at Okeechobee in the
late-1990s, then the terminal to the northwest. Typical Florida
palm trees are down below. The system's storage and maintenance is
near here, a bit further out along the line.
Two stops inbound from here is the Tri-Rail Station, a station added
after the original opening of the line to the northwest. There one
can
transfer (separate fares) to and from the commuter line
operated by South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. That lengthy
route (over 70 miles long) travels through three counties, from the vicinity of West
Palm Beach, well to the north of the metropolitan area, down to a terminal near Miami International Airport (but not
into or near downtown Miami).
