Is the Dallas-Miami proposal a real thing?

I saw this on YouTube about a possible Dallas-Miami route. Is this something that can happen?

I have a strong suspicion that significant parts of this channel’s production process involve AI. I personally don’t know whether a Dallas-Miami route is in the cards. But I have noticed this account seems to screen through Amtrak and FRA documents to find the smallest details to them present as “breaking Amtrak news.”

I wouldn't buy a ticket yet if I were you. This is pure smoke.

Much as I would like to see this service, my basic thought is, "when pigs fly." Note that the terrain and scenery views were almost, if not all Western US, and none in the sort of terrain through the train would operate. If the people putting this little blurb together had any serious thought they would have at least gotten the background views to be appropriate. The sort of money mentioned to make this train happen could be much more beneficial in other locations., and that is not even considering that the amount is likely significantly low balled. Due to such things as doglegs in the rail route, and no real high speed segments likely, the train time would be excruciatingly slow compared to reasonable driving time.

It Dallas to Miami "possible" ... sure - is it "probable" ... No!
