The only problem that Amtrak might have with the "Brightline" type cars is their ability to operate in the US winter weather extremes . All winter weather in the US is not the same.
You have powder snow, heavy wet snow, ice, ice storms, temperature extremes down to -40 and lower, all that blowing ,debris from fallen trees, etc.
Plus running from these winter weather conditions to needing air conditioning. So the AC units need protecting from these extreme winter conditions !
