All Aboard Florida may add stops

Plans are still being completed for the West Palm Beach station, but we get to see a bit of what Ft. Lauderdale's station will look like. Miami's, the largest, was revealed about two weeks ago. Click title for link. And more stops may lay ahead in the future, further north.
Michael Reininger, president and chief development officer of All Aboard Florida, said the Miami to West Palm Beach phase can operate independently as a successful venture, and he’s confident the company will earn the federal loan to complete the Orlando construction.
“The first phase of this project is a very robust business all by itself,” Reininger said at Tuesday’s station unveiling.
Broward County elected officials touted how the 60,000-square-foot station will invigorate a pocket of scruffy unused land off the city’s main thoroughfare, and how the rail line will enhance the economy by funneling people into downtown businesses.
