The "Speedway to Sunshine" is a major freight operation and double-tracking implies a pretty good volume of traffic.  I don't expect to see any passenger service on that line in the foreseeable future.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

  I guess you haven't heard about All Aboard Florida, the high speed train that will go between Orlando and Miami, part of it on the FEC. That is why a lot of the FEC will be double tracked again. It will be double tracked from 528 near Cocoa to Miami. They expect to be operating by 2015.

Cool i live in cocoa and crews are installing fiber optics as these will be at the highestt speed allowed by law. p. s. with all private capital and no federal funds. name another passenger operation that can say that other than the orange county comuter rail system.
