In today's Palm Beach Post: AAF and FEC explain what they do and who they serve

All Aboard Florida's (AAF) President Michael Reininger and Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway President James Hertwig wrote a piece in the Post titled, "All Aboard Florida, FEC helping the state grow". Here is how the piece ends:

     In addition to rail enhancements, AAF is also investing hundreds of millions of dollars on trains, stations and related urban development — spending that has zero benefit to freight operations. These investments dispel the notion that this project is all about freight.
     As evidenced by its financial commitments, AAF is convinced that a passenger rail service connecting South and Central Florida is a viable and profitable business. With Gov. Rick Scott’s goal of attracting 100 million annual visitors to our state, AAF’s initiative also provides another way to move people throughout Florida.
     Florida’s growing population and expanding economy reaffirm AAF’s belief that this is the right time and the right solution for a state whose national stature is growing every day.

A good reason to read the entire article is it opens with a good explanation on what AAF and the FEC are and what they share: "the historic Flagler railroad corridor." Without the railroads there would be no Florida as we know it today.
