This about the Meadow Woods Sunrail station which is a little west of the airport. However, it is not meant to use the SunRail cars to do anything, just shared use of the tracks and station for Brightline. Just last week, FDOT gave Brightline a final notice that they need to get moving on negotiations with all the shared use entities and put a deadline on it or else they will not continue with any discussions to use FDOT ROW. At this time, it still all just a pipe dream to connect OIA to Tampa (and WDW).So I just learned tonight, although it is not NEW new (first discussed last October that I can see), that Brightline has been talking with SunRail to study sharing the corridor between Disney and somewhere east of MCO (possibly Innovation Way), giving SunRail access to the airport and an East-West corridor. I mention this because SunRail is a commuter system - their railcars have twice the capacity of Brightline. While luggage would still be a problem, the capacity needed could potentially come from SunRail.
