With Brightline in Florida and Amtrak upgrades in Virginia and even to Georgia, I’m actually starting to be optimistic Boston to Miami will happen. Eventually. Sadly, not in my lifetime, but eventually.
So far, every place I see even basic rail service, it only builds interest. People want it, and it’s finally getting a little funding. Once people get it, it will be tough to take away. It will grow.
At the current rate, it will take quite a few decades. I can dream of a relaxing ride to Florida in my retirement, but maybe the next generation will be able to actually do it
Hell, we may even get high speed rail centered on Chicago, expanded out to meet east coast rail. Can you imagine the entire eastern half the country connected?
