    The train from to Miami has been quoted and attempted over and over since I was about 7 growing up in the greater Orlando area. 28 years later and it’s still in talks. They tried to connect Tampa to Daytona through Orlando. (All they needed to do was follow I4 as the road already goes there.). This is as far as that has gotten: (15 years on that alone)

      Yeah, and the problem isn’t the trains, it’s the politics, and ultimately the voters.

      The train would make things better, and we could build it, but the will to do so isn’t there.
