There is a state, local government railroad operations 2 to 5 miles west of Brightline (Virgin) called TriRail. Maximum speed limited to 79 mph, and will never go faster. Meanwhile, north of West Palm Beach private enterprise is going to provide 110 mph maximum speeds and west of Cocoa 125 mph max speeds.
So who is actually doing better in Florida, private enterprise or the state?
