Why Trains Just Don’t Work in America

I think rail service would work well in Florida, if a private company ran it rather than the incompetent Government. Fom the capital city of Tallahassee to Pensacola or to Jacksonville (both university towns) is about the same distance—around 200 miles either direction.

To West Palm Beach/Miami via Jacksonville, around 450 miles. Orlando even closer, Tampa about the same. If Orlando was a ‘hub’ city (as Disney wants), it could work out very well.

So maybe not national, but inner-state-wide services would be great.
