Brightline Bondholders Grant Two-Week Extension on Debt Payment
Brightline Trains Florida LLC, the struggling $6 billion private railroad between Miami and Orlando, struck a deal with holders of $985 million of municipal bonds to extend a debt payment due Monday through the end of the month, according to a securities filing.

The filing didn’t say who provided the loan, which was made without the consent of the commuter bondholders.
