Yeah, we really needed a freakin train to gobble up tax money and compete with AmTrack as the biggest boon doggle around. Thank God we do not have the train or Richards.

Here in Florida they wanted high speed rail to carry folk from Tampa to Orlando, onward south to Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami. The problem? it will take 3 to 4 times more time to get from Tampa to Miami even if the Train can go 200 mph, that it can to take a 50 minute express flight from Tampa to Miami. Even trains that can go 200 mph still have to stop and let off and take on commuters. The fix in Texas should be either a toll expressway parallel to the interstate like in S.W. Florida, or an upper level limited access expressway over the current I 35 , like the Selmon expressway in Tampa, but on a much larger scale.
