Travelling Sir Richard Branson's Rails
High speed rail service is accelerating globally in China, Japan, and Europe.  It's now on track for the United States.  One of Sir Richard Branson's many travel/investment companies - Virgin Trains USA and Brightline - are leading the way.

2019 All Aboard
Virgin Trains USA hopes to launch routes connecting Orlando to Tampa, Florida in 2019.  It will then turn to an ambitious project to link Los Angeles to Las Vegas by high speed rail.  That happens to be Virgin's most popular airplane route in the US.

Partnership with Brightline Trains
Virgin is partnering with Brightline Trains on this US rollout.  Virgin has taken a minority financial stake in Brightline.  Brightline will rebrand in January 2019 as Virgin Trains USA.  Brightline provides high speed passenger trains in the South Florida corridor between Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

Branson: the Air, Space and Rail Travel Innovator Extraordinaire
Sir Richard is spearheading the US high speed train rollout.  He said, he's been looking for an opportunity to provide excellent rail service in the US for more than a decade.  It's a huge market, with tens of millions of riders every day.  Branson says, Brightline is at the forefront of high speed rail innovation.  For more stories on innovation, including Branson's Virgin Galactic and Virgin Hyperloop, go to amazon.com/author/ekane
