All The Live long Day...."Now departing on Track Two"!

Some boys get a train set for Christmas and that kicks off a life long love of trains. Some boys go on to great things while others go on to building and expanding that first train set. Some boys that go on to great things never forget that train set, so that, when they retire they have enough money to build a model railway like no other. Some boys are called Rod Stewart.

The long, disheartening decline of passenger rail in the U.S. may be turning around, thanks in part to the ambitious efforts of a new high-speed train service in Florida called Brightline (soon to renamed Virgin Trains, connecting Miami to Orlando on fast, luxurious new trains. But can this service survive long enough to convince Americans to take trains more often?
