Makes me wonder if this train will be successful.

having traveled the state by car for work, I can definitely say that is slower than driving it. The ONLY relief is traffic. I've made it Orlando to Miami in 3'ish" hours.... it all depends on that traffic West Palm and south. Will the train be successful? without a doubt, with Branson behind it the train isn't going anywhere but what it's meant to do. I plan on using it I just wish it lived up to it's "high speed" expectation. as a high speed I expect to be in Miami in 90 minutes
