Beightline travels at the normal federal limit of 79mph.
The _lowest_ internationally accepted limit for high speed rail is 125mph.
Even if Beightline ever actually upgrades to 110mph that still won’t be real HSR.
They also have a real problem with Florida drivers being Florida drivers. True high speed rail is fully grade separated (no road crossings)

That said, this is their plan for the expansion to Orlando: > Brightline will terminate at this station once the 170-mile (270 km) Orlando Extension track is built. Trains will run up to 125 mph (201 km/h) with a travel time of approximately three hours from Orlando's airport to Miami.
