[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] While this looks to be a project that is needed, making a profit would surprise me. Passenger systems simply seldom if ever do. If this were Texas High Speed Rail, I would probably go for it, but not whole hog. If Brightline into Orlando does become profitable, my view would be something like the comment made about the Chicago and North Western many years ago when it was claiming a profit on its Chicago commuter service. It was to the effect, "It is like watching a hippopotamus do ballet. It is not that it does ballet so well, it is that it manages to do ballet at all." [/QB][/QUOTE]
