[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] If Brightline is as impressive and well done as Mr. Norman says, it will create momentum for intercity rail that Amtrak hasn't been able to generate in 40+ years. Mayors and business leaders in other parts of the country will be taking their joy rides and wondering "why can't we have this?" Unfortunately, the answer will usually be that there isn't any available rail infrastructure to build another Brightline. But people will see that just because Amtrak has failed, failed and failed to establish a meaningful intercity rail system outside of the NEC, it doesn't mean that it can't be done. I would expect many of the shelved proposals to get another look. Why can't Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Atlanta to Charlotte, Houston to Dallas and Chicago to almost-anywhere-within 300 miles be served with modern, high(er) speed trains? [/QB][/QUOTE]
