The following is a quote from the Flroida Railfan Page

10/27/03 HIGH SPEED RAIL DECISION!!!!The Florida High Speed Rail Authority has made thier decision.

THE ROUTE - Via the Greenway to Walt Disney World bypassing I Drive

THE TRAIN - The Bombardier Jet Train

Of course this must be approved by the state. And there are many hurdles yet to be crossed. Stay tuned.

So it looks like we won't get electrification after all. :( But, now we know what HSR will look like, still has to be approved by the state though.
 
Well at least they made a sensible choice for equipment. Too bad about the electrification though. Even though it would have cost more, it would have provided additional jobs.
