"Orange Line"[edit]

Where did the name "Orange Line" come from? It could have just as easily been the blue line or the red line? Is there a specific place that says it's to be called the Orange Line? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Comayagua99 (talk • contribs) 23:02:55, August 18, 2007 (UTC).

That was the name that appears on the Miami-Dade Transit site. Officially the existing Metrorail is the Green Line; originally (~1984), the proposed Orange Line extended from FIU along Dolphin Expressway to Miami Orange Bowl, then Government Center, Port of Miami, and South Beach.

I was fortunate enough to see a planning map about a decade ago. The proposed extension along SR 9 was the red line, a proposed line along SR 94 was the yellow line, an extension along the current South Dade Busway was the blue line. I don't remember the color of the line that was proposed to go along Biscayne Boulevard. B.Wind (talk) 05:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Former stations[edit]

Any chance that this line is going to stop at some former Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line or Florida East Coast Railroad stations? ---- DanTD 15:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not Metrorail. All new Metrorail stations are being built from scratch, as did the first set. Now, if Tri-Rail is extended along the FEC rail (and there are proposals to do just that), it would be more likely in Broward or Palm Beach County than in Miami-Dade as FEC was (and is) primarily a freight service.

Restore[edit]

I restored this page from redirect because it was a pretty significant proposal that even had physical infrastructure prepared for it with the original construction of the system; the "ghost platform" facing west at Government Center station, and the stub or a spur where the line turns from north to west along 27th Avenue. Additionally, though years have passed, the line is still mentioned fairly often, and provided the doomsayers are wrong in assuming the region will be under water sometime tomorrow (or is it Friday?), there is no reason to believe some form of this will not happen, although it will likely remain BRT for the north section and might be an at grade commuter system for the west part.
