Virgin Trains USA started work Tuesday on its long-awaited rail line to Orlando, a project that will take five contractors, an army of 10,000 workers and $2.7 billion before the line starts whisking passengers at speeds of up to 110 mph between South and Central Florida.
The Orlando extension will provide South Floridians with a direct rail route to and from Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal theme parks. The 36-month project is expected to be completed in 2022, with service to start the same year.
