Interesting note, Virgin Trains USA is going to take over Brightline services in Florida. With Richard Bransons group also taking on the challenge of building the Las Vegas - Southern California high speed train service.

There have been studies, but none resulted in anything happening. So if the political will exists to look into HSR again, it will require another study as the old ones will no longer be relevant.
That is interesting about Virgin USA, though it seems it's mainly branding - Virgin still only owns a minority stake. I expect they will promise a lot of things that are not in their control and unachievable, as they did at various times in the UK.
