    The SunRail line connects Volusia County and Osceola county through Downtown Orlando. This route has a daily ridership of 6,362 people. It has a length of 61.3 miles (98.7 km) and has a ride time of roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes.

    The route:

    [​IMG]
    This train has a max speed of 82-102mph (132-164 km/h) despite only being able to go as fast as 79 mph on this route due to speed limits.

    BI-Level VII coaches:
    [​IMG]
    These are the coaches for this route which act similar to the ones on Peninsula Corridor so there stats carry over from the previous train.

    Layered Services:
    ACS-64:
    [​IMG]
    This train could be featured between Orlando Heath and Winter Park for a couple of Services if you own Boston Sprinter.

    POV:


    Conclusion:
    While yes being similar to Peninsula corridor, it would give the southern USA more routes (As they are all either northern or Mid usa) and it runs through Orlando which has some of the largest points of interest in the entire country.

    Umm, ACS-64's don't run anywhere near Florida, they don't go south of Washington DC. Only Amtrak Services are the Silver Meteor and Silver Star, which in Florida, are pulled by P42/P40's, not to mention a baggage car and Viewliners would need to be modeled to "accurately" represent the service.

    I’m curious, what would the ACS run on, there doesn’t seem to be OHLE?
