Maglev Trains

The fastest trains ever built are turning hour-long, traffic-jammed commutes into futuristic joyrides. So when can we expect a maglev train here in the United States? Jorge Ribas finds out.

i am happy someone in USA wants High speed, it's like the only high speed you guys have is Acela or what ever its called, Maglev is really safe as well, But lets see how it goes

@SatoTM3 I'm from USA. Wish I wasn't though. I totally think USA sucks though.
-
We better have better trains by 2020 like in OpenTTD or I'm going to flame the internet.

@xygomorphic44 They are more energy efficient, extremely fast, no pollution emitted. In fact, even if they use electricity from coal- or natural-gas-fired power plants, the resulting CO2 emission is much less than that from autos, trucks, and airplanes, because of Maglev’s very high energy efficiency. If I had the opportunity to go from NY to Chicago on a high speed rail or CLE to either NY or CHI I would do it in a heartbeat. And I'm a freaking pilot.

@xygomorphic44 What the hell are you talking about??? There would certainly be a demand if there was a train that could go 300+mph. NE Rail Corridor ring a bell? And I'm sorry but you are flat wrong about the "extreme energy consumption" that these trains supposedly use. At 300 miles per hour in the open atmosphere, Maglev consumes only 0.4 megajoules per passenger mile, compared to 4 mj per passenger mile of oil fuel for a 20mpg auto that carries 1.8 people (the national average) at 60mph
