The stalemate between Amtrak and the SunRail was broken this morning, clearing the way for the Central Florida commuter train to move ahead toward a 2013 start date.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, fresh from a meeting with federal, state and Amtrak officials in Washington, D.C., said by phone that Amtrak had dropped its opposition to the $1.2 billion project.
"I'm pretty happy today," Dyer said.
Calls into Amtrak for comment were not immediately returned.
