Based on the track record of Brightline in FL, it is quite possible that they can make it in 2028.

共和党州还是歇歇吧，脑残州长的政绩工程。 Brightline离真正高速铁路十万八千里，几百个和公路的平面立交，防护墙也没有，三天两头撞死人，这叫高速铁路？、在原有矿渣轨道上开高速火车，只会死亡更多，难怪Brightline被称Deathline 高速铁路必须是全立交全封闭，佛罗里达4年啥也没做，就是死亡政绩工程
Death Train: A Timeline of Brightline Fatalities UPDATED A chronicle of dozens of Brightline train fatalities from suicides, cars stuck on the tracks, and pedestrian accidents. By Alex DeLuca December 22, 2023 The Associated Press says Brightline is the deadliest train system per mile in America.

Within a few hours of returning to South Florida in November 2021, after a 20-month hiatus during the pandemic, Brightline was already off to a rough start.
On November 8, 2021, the "higher-speed" train — which runs from West Palm Beach to Miami —
slammed into a woman and her grandchild driving across the railroad tracks in Pompano Beach.
Dubbed the
deadliest train per mile in America by the Associated Press, Brightline has killed dozens of people across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in the years since its 2017
debut. New Times logged more than 30 pedestrian and motorist deaths caused by collisions with the company''s trains since January 2022.
In August 2022, Brightline announced a $45 million federally funded project entailing the construction of "at least 33 miles of pedestrian protection features and supplemental safety measures." Brightline said it would upgrade its railway with fencing, better safety signage, and raised pavement markers, among other upgrades stretching from Brevard to Miami-Dade counties.
In an interview with New Times in February, transportation safety advocate Mike Arias argued those safety features should have been in place in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties when Brightline service began years ago.
The rail operator''s long-awaited, inaugural train service to Orlando kicked off September 22, but the trip was delayed after a pedestrian in Delray Beach was killed by another Brightline train heading south to Miami. Less than a week later, the death of a homeless man in St. Lucie County marked the first reported fatality on Brightline''s newly expanded route to Central Florida.
Here is a timeline of Brightline deaths since the train service started:
December 19, 2023 A courthouse employee was struck and killed by a Brightline train in downtown West Palm Beach, just across from the county courthouse.
Police say 69-year-old Gary Millar was attempting to cross the railroad tracks when he was hit by the northbound train. Millar reportedly worked at the courthouse as a Spanish language interpreter.
November 22, 2023 At around 5:30 p.m., a northbound Brightline train hit a man in east Boynton Beach near Palmetto Greens Linear Park. He died from his injuries.
Hours later, another Brightline train hit an unoccupied vehicle in Jensen Beach, about an hour drive north of the first accident. Police say the driver in the second incident –– an elderly woman who witnesses say got stuck on the train tracks –– escaped before her car was crushed by the high-speed passenger train.
A woman was reportedly able to escape her vehicle before it was obliterated by a Brightline train.
October 19, 2023 A 60-year-old Melbourne woman was fatally struck by a Brightline train after trying to walk across two sets of train tracks. Police say Lisa Molnar was attempting to cross the tracks around 2:45 p.m. when she was hit and killed by the train. Her death marked the
first fatal Brightline accident in the city of Melbourne.

中国高铁最高速度是380公里。南加州这个最高速度200迈，平均速度110迈，跟佛罗里达那条bright line一样，跟中国比差距其实挺大的。 不过能按时建起来的话已经很好了。
