The Future of Florida High-Speed Rail Tour
About the High-Speed Rail Tour
Florida is about to make U.S. transportation history as the first state to create a high-speed rail network with trains connecting its metropolitan areas at speeds of up to 200 mph. The first segment to be constructed will be Orlando to Tampa, with Miami to Orlando scheduled to follow.
