Amtrak official makes pitch to run Florida high speed rail

Of course, the whole project is still very hypothetical, at least until the stimulus funding allocations are decided.

This is nitpicky, but there's an error in the Article, it says only one daily train MIA-NYP, I thought there were two, the Silver Star and Silver Meteor.

It is not mistaken, its TPA-NYP one daily trip. It make sense

Yes, I agree, but that's not what the article says:

But only one daily northbound and southbound train serves Amtrak on a run between New York and Miami.

Maybe that means Florida is serving two daily train service??

No, unfortunately the article is flat wrong on this point. Both the Meteor and the Star run daily NYP-MIA. The Star stops in TPA on the way while the Meteor doesn't, but both run to Miami in the end.

Yes, it is either a misprint or a goof by the author. I am pretty sure that what he intended to say was:

"But only one daily northbound and southbound train serves
Tampa
on a run between New York and Miami.
