If they offered way more frequent trips and many more local trips--like the Shinkansen does--would they be doing better, or worse?
There are 6.8 million people living between Vero Beach and Miami (well, a few are out in Homestead etc) and almost all are within 10 miles of the coast, no way this would be third sector in Japan

Compare Shikoku--only 3.8 million on the entire island, scattered all over it instead of in one neat linear corridor, and yet most rail is done by JR Shikoku rather than 3rd sector operators; it even supports two private rail companies (Iyotetsu and Kotoden)pic.twitter.com/c9BCmwuzrn

JR Shikoku is the weakest JR, no?

I think so, yeah--it's them or Hokkaido. But Iyotetsu and Kotoden are profitable afaik, and the point still stands that JR Shikoku isn't 3rd sector, despite operating in far worse circumstances than you find in South FL
