Rail company proposes $1 billion Orlando-to-Miami train
A Coral Gables real estate and rail company announced ambitious plans Thursday to run passenger trains from Miami to Orlando as early as 2014.
The $1 billion project, dubbed All Aboard Florida, would be privately financed and operated, said spokeswoman Christine Barney.
"No risk to the state," Barney said.
The system would be owned by Florida East Coast Industries Inc., which traces its roots to railroad pioneer Henry Flagler, who was instrumental in the development of Florida in the late 19th century.
