Is it likely for the Tampa--Orlando high speed rail route to get restarted at some point in the future?
No. Odds are that All Aboard Florida will eventually build a non-electrified 125 mph corridor on the original HSR route from the Orlando airport to Tampa, extending their Miami to Orlando line. So Florida would get a grade separated 125 mph cross state corridor that connects to the 79 to 90 mph FEC (which has numerous grade crossings) to get to Miami and Jacksonville. It would be privately owned and not an electrified 160 or 180 mph HSR line. But it would provide pretty good intercity train service and at a much lower cost to the Florida taxpayers.Is it likely for the Tampa--Orlando high speed rail route to get restarted at some point in the future?
No, I would venture to say that anything that thinks it can compete with NEC isn't going anywhere for the forseeable future.Is it likely for the Tampa--Orlando high speed rail route to get restarted at some point in the future?
