VERBATIM: Florida’s Brightline will begin running trains between Miami and Orlando on Friday. It will reach speeds of 125 mph along the 235-mile route between the state’s biggest tourist hubs. The line joins the only other high-speed rail in the nation — Amtrak’s Acela (ah SELL ah) line, which operates between Washington and Boston and is owned by the federal government.
