That is not conducive to "high speed".

You end up with the same problem I brought up before. You need a car
to get around Tampa and Orlando. Tourists are unlikely to travel in
between by train anyway. If they have a rental car, you are only
talking about a 1 - 1.5 hour drive. They would be at the other end,
checked into their hotel before you got through the train station on
both ends, if they "beamed" you to Tampa.

I agree wholeheartedly, our infrastructure sucks. Trouble is it sucks
because people like you are afraid of change and innovation.

A train offers absolutely NOTHING to "people" like me.
That is the problem.
I am not sure where I would take a train to

Same here, I hate cities....

You are unemployed and have no reason to go to one. So you think that
everyone should be unemployed so that they don't have to go to a city to
work?
