Pedestrian killed by private train in South Florida

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A pedestrian in South Florida was killed after being hit by a train that is part of a privately-owned passenger rail.

The Boynton Beach Police said Friday that the pedestrian had been on the tracks when he was hit by the Brightline train that is part of the All Aboard Florida rail system.

No passengers on the train were injured.

The police department says it’s working to identify the pedestrian.

All Aboard Florida started running train service between West Palm Beach and Miami last month.

It hopes to eventually expand its service to Orlando.
