private rail in Florida

  September 22, 2023 will bring to life Brightline, a private rail service between Miami and Orlando. The trains will reach 125 mph, for the 3 hour trip. The rail line looks to expand to Tampa and the Gulf Coast. Could this work elsewhere? Probably, it utilized public financing options. But, keep in mind that Brightline was created by the company that built the tracks that the rail services uses more than a century ago. Talk about a long game and a pivot.
