Experts weigh in on best path for Miami-Orlando-Tampa train

Imagine having a train that could take you from Miami, to OIA, all the way to Tampa.

That's precisely what Virgin Trains USA has in the works.

They even want to include a stop at Walt Disney World.

But the exact path those trains will take between cities is a puzzle who’s solution is currently being brainstormed.

As the Orlando Business Journal writes:

The two companies entered into a memo of understanding in November, and engineering and design work for the project kicked off, according to a new monthly revenue and ridership report from Virgin Trains, whose $4 billion expansion from West Palm Beach to Orlando is underway.

But the question remains: What's the right path for the train to take to bring millions of visitors from the Orlando International Airport — the primary hub for the rail — to Central Florida's most-visited theme park?"

One suggestion includes I-Drive and Universal Studios.
