This is such an interesting dance, Sun Rail and Brightline. For now it works well with Brightline, short of capital, dancing with Brightline to get a key expensive section. But at the end of the day who's toy will it be?

I haven't seen anything they've sorted out who owns the toys. Things feel great now but that may be a stumbling block.

Along with that is the Disney Springs being the end of the line for Sun Rail. It makes some sense to extend Sun Rail to Disney Springs. But for Polk County to benefit, they'll be looking to bring in SunRail past that. If that gets traction, that can too become a source of conflict between SunRail and Brighline.
