A potential rail system connecting Tampa and Orlando may have a stop at Walt Disney World.

Florida is one step closer to getting a high-speed train from Tampa to Orlando

Brightline already offers trips in South Florida, connecting Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The new proposal would connect Tampa and Orlando, but could also include stops in Lakeland and at Disney World.

A map on the SEC website shows some of the proposed locations.

Wednesday afternoon, a selection committee approved Brightline to start negotiations with FDOT and CFX over leasing the right of way.
