Big choo choo???  rofl... ::)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Pretty silly ad. I wonder if they can point to any cases where increased passenger train service ruined a community?

Is it just me or did they hire the same director who did Sharknado to shoot this?

notice they put a slow moving freight train in the clip?  Ask California how rail has ruined it.  Must be why they are building more, and more.  The LA to San Diego route, and others are very well used. 
I think many don't realize the tracks have been there for a very long time, and the basis more most of the early development in Florida.  I guess Flagler and Plant were just ahead of their time.

This is so stupid that I expect it will work against them. It does prove one valid point however; some people should never be left alone with a video camera.

Big Choo Choo....that's cute.  That shaking is quite dramatic.  I've been to Bold City quite a few times and I don't recall my beer vibrating off of the table when a train goes by and those trains pass within a few feet of the place.

how does adding trains decrease the habitat of the panther?

It doesn't. In fact, rail is the solution to their listed "concern" that "Transportation projects continue to shrink panther habitat in south Florida."

Clearly we should be focusing on 8-lane highways instead of railway if we want to limit environmental impact.....
