The Bright line, Florida's swing at a "high speed train" from Miami to

They are losing $300,000 a day with little hope of ever turning that
around. Those watching more closely say this was never really about a
passenger train, that they were just fishing for federal money to
improve the track so freight trains could go faster. Unfortunately
they still have to go through the motions of creating a passenger
train. The biggest problem really seems to be that all of the track
runs at grade, through fairly populated areas so the faster trains are
resulting in a lot more people getting hit by a train. It is unlikely
that there will ever actually be a high speed train on that track.
Where we might actually get a fast train is next to the Bee Line going
from DisneyWorld to the Disney Cruise docks but Disney won't be buying
it, the tax payer will. By linking the whole boondoggle together they
get the federal money..

How awful it is that there is infrastructure going up somewhere that
won't benefit you personally, eh?

It will benefit the Fossil Fuel industry as much as anyone since a lot
of the "freight" is LNG but since the biggest winner is the freight
hauling companies in general and the biggest losers are the poor
people who live next to the train tracks at the expense of the federal
tax payers in general, I am surprised you are so happy about it.
I would think that just the fact that Rick Scott is for it would make
you against it.

My comment stands. I don't follow Florida politics closely, and isn't
Scott someone you support, even though he is as big a crook as the POTUS
you support?
