KISSIMMEE, Fla. – SunRail hopes to have rail service restored by the end of the month to its southernmost destinations, following damage from Hurricane Ian.

The commuter rail line released new aerial pictures of the damage near the Kissimmee station Friday, showing an area under the tracks that collapsed during the storm.

SunRail reopened its Tupperware station north of Downtown Kissimmee on Wednesday, and it is providing LYNX bus bridge service to the Kissimmee and Poinciana stations.

SunRail earlier this week said the repairs would take weeks. On Friday, SunRail said it hoped to restore full service possibly by late October.
