Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

What always interests me is the members of the masses who don't recognize that they're the masses...

In my 5 visits, I've only had one bad meal in Italy. Of course, it was near the Coliseum.

Funny i saw an article how they're still finding bits/pieces of the Gladiators to this day

Quick and interesting read about where house are being built.  

"high-speed" rail is being built in Florida right now. The trains max out at 130mph I think- which is fastest thing in the crummy USA train scene- far car from the top speeds trains in Europe & Asia hit. But hey, it's a start, right?

It was called "Brightline" but it's been rebranded as VirginTrains USA with Richard Branson getting involved. The stations/lines are already done and open from West Palm Beach to Ft Lauderdale to Miami. That's all been open for a couple years now- recently just shut down due to covid (THANKS CHINA)-  but super nice brand new trains, super nice brand new stations, and the tickets were cheap. I even took it a couple times. Freaking loved it. You can go from downtown WPB to downtown Miami in about an hr. They are currently building new rail out to Orlando Airport- then from MCO to Disney World.

Downtown Boca Raton is getting rail built and a brand new station built close to Mizner Park and a brand new station and rail is being built at the Aventura Mall (super high-end mall in Aventura- which is a rich ass city just 10 miles or so north of Miami lined as far as the eye can see with multi-million dollar condo high-rises).

So VirginTrains USA high-speed rail is going to go from Miami -> Aventura -> Ft Lauderdale -> Boca Raton -> West Palm Beach - > MCO -> Disney World - and back by 2022. Pretty f'n cool. Just wish they could hit like 200mph. Miami and the stops in between WPB- definitely nowhere near enough room to hit those kind of speeds- but nothing but white trash cows and farm land with cows as far as the eye can see from WPB to Orlando- plenty of space to go faaaaast.

So, I'm looking at a map and have no local knowledge... Correct me if I'm wrong.

I can absolutely see a use for train service across that corridor between Miama and WPB. Could be useful for commuters and just in general due to what I'm sure is horrific traffic. 

But I can't see the argument for connecting it to Orlando... How many daily trips are there between South Florida and Orlando? Enough to actually have good ridership numbers? Will it be even close to cost-competitive with driving? 

Orlando is one of the few places it could make sense, because quite frankly Disney prefers that once you're on their property, you don't have a car to leave lol... And if you're doing the Disney resort thing, you frankly don't need the car anyway. 

But I wonder if there's any way to make money on that leg of the route?

Is there a screaming deal for your part of the world? It feels like it would be where I grew up.

I don’t know a ton about the geography of some of those cities but definitely for Houston. That place will be disaster on foot.
