Brightline is preparing for a possible Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as soon as this week, according to Bloomberg News. The plan under discussion would restructure about $1.1 billion in corporate debt.
People familiar with the confidential discussions told Bloomberg that Brightline's passenger railroad operating unit would remain outside the proposed case. That structure is intended to let the company continue running trains while it addresses debt elsewhere in the business.
