I'll consider them high speed trains when they can run 125 mph, on the route to Orlando.
Even though we really shouldn't be lowering our standards like that, the original Shinkansen hit speeds of 130 mph, in the 60s.

Also they need to really work on those grade crossings. It seems like every week there's a new story about a brightline train hitting someone. And it's not a fault of their own (stupid floridian drivers) but it does paint a bad image and cost money.
