Miami-Dade County’s low-budget solution to an east-west rail line may get hung up on a big-ticket necessity: spending hundreds of millions to purchase tracks now used for cargo.
In a letter to the county’s transportation board, the CSX cargo company outlined a framework for considering a plan to run passenger rail on its tracks between Miami International Airport and the county’s western suburbs. CSX’s primary condition could prove costly: It wants Florida to purchase about 35 miles of track the company operates in western and southern Miami-Dade.
