Following up on my initial posting of exactly one year ago today, the new privately-run Miami to Orlando Passenger train is getting closer to reality:
State investing $213.5M into Orlando International's intermodal complex - Orlando Business Journal

From the article:
"...The builders of a second train, the $1.5 billion All Aboard Florida carrier that would link Orlando International Airport with South Florida, are negotiating the final route with property owners and have promised to be running in 2015..."
This statement does not make it clear as to who the "...property owners..." are. If it means existing railroads, then maybe they could be running in 2015. However, if these people are negotiating to purchase property on which to build a NEW railroad there is absolutely no way they will be up and running in 2015.
