of john from the channel the forefoot which is the quintessential place to go for transit and railway construction and development in the united states nobody not even massive news outlets have the coverage john has so make sure to go check out some of his videos which includes stuff from coast to coast now beyond the initial phase california's high speed rail is set to extend down to los angeles and beyond this major link to sacramento and san diego on the north and south sides respectively the line will see current world-class top speeds of NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour though portions of the line such as those shared with caltrain will be slower completion dates for high-speed rail are really uncertain at the moment but it's unlikely we see any proper services operating before NUMBER_TOKEN. now before we look at the next high-speed rail lines in the us i'm going to quickly tell you about this video's sponsor squarespace if you're interested in creating an online presence like i did you won't find another platform as comprehensive and easy to use as squarespace which i use to create my new website i particularly love the built-in blogging tools as well as the powerful email campaigns i can create to better connect with everyone and of course the in-depth analytics tools to give me insightful feedback on how the site is performing start building your online brand for free by heading to URL_TOKEN and when you're ready to launch go to URL_TOKEN rm transit and use code rm transit to save NUMBER_TOKEN off your first purchase of a website or domain the next high-speed rail line is brightline in florida which already exists but is not currently high speed right now services run between beautiful modern stations in miami and west palm beach and hit top speeds of NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour or around NUMBER_TOKEN kilometers per hour somewhat unusually brightline is a privately owned railway and is not operated by amtrak brightline is quite an interesting case study and is using a mixture of revenue streams such as real estate to recover construction costs which could be a promising way of getting more intercity and regional rail built in north america in the future more interesting is the currently well under construction like north from west palm beach and then west to orlando with a station located at the city's international airport this leg of the route will have top speeds from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour which will make it the second high speed corridor in the united states by my definitions perhaps more exciting much of the lake inland from coco florida which is NUMBER_TOKEN mile per hour capable will be built in a highway right of way which seems like a promising way for which we could expand north american high-speed rail in the future this will enable roughly three-hour trips from miami to orlando beating car travel times brightline also has planned extensions to port miami and disney and tampa in the future which could connect many of florida's largest population centers transportation hubs and tourist attractions my only hope is that we someday see electrification and other improvements like more great separations along the line as it turns out brightline is also working on a line between las vegas and victorville which is the city east of los angeles this project is in its early stages but major land acquisition has already begun similar to the orlando phase of the original brightline project brightline west plans to run a great deal of service along a major highway corridor i-NUMBER_TOKEN in this case unlike a bright line east
