Lets get some decent service up and down the east coast of Florida before we worry about service west to Tallahassee.
The resorts and the population are on the east coast and not in Tallahassee.
As for St. Augusting's dream of federal funds for their station, my opinion is if they wait for that the train will pass them by.
All of the local stops need to come up with at least some of the funds needed for a local station. If there is a will to do that,
there is a way to accomplish that. If these proposed stops really had their act together, they could have a train within
months. Unfortunately, I do not think most of them have their act together. The exception might be Stuart which seems to
be more in tune with reality than the rest of them.
Maybe something positive will happen when more talks take place as they surely will. Money talks and everything else is
likely to walk in this case.
I sincerely hope that something positive happens. Maybe the inspection train will help create real interest with some money
to go with the interest.
