>>1212729There's some promising stuff happening. It's mainly private companies right now, but there are two rail projects I'm excited about.
First, there's Brightline in Florida, a privately-run intercity service which opened a few months ago. They're a bunch of real-estate moguls who decided to run a train in-between their developments to make more money.
Second, there's Texas Central Railways, in, well, Texas. They're a bunch of old Bush administration figures who partnered up with JR Central in order to link Dallas and Houston together, and to get JR Central a foot in the door in the American market. They're still buying land, but they're making good progress and almost have their EIS done.
