"The Way to Prosper is to have a big vision"  So saith Quinn.  This mantra has been used by practically everyone who champions a project that the users are not likely to pay for.  It is one of the reasons the U.S. has a $14.3 trillion federal government debt along with collective state debt of more than $2.4 trillion.  If I remember correctly, Illinois has been chasing California as the most debt encrusted state in the nation. The state would be better off starting with 110 mph trains to see if there is a market for them.  If there is, then they could ramp up the speed to 150 mph, probably using most of the current infrastructure, without the massive outlays require for 220 mph trains. I have been to Florida several times this year.  The governor of the Sunshine State was correct in turning down the Tampa to Orlando high speed rail project.  What is needed instead is effective commuter rail from St. Petersburg/Tampa along the coast to Fort Myers and perhaps Naples.  The major highways along the coast are loaded with traffic, especially during the rush hours.
