for macguy: I realize there would be a significant outlay of monies to build the infrastructure, right-of-way, overheads, terminals, etc. My intention wasn't to say it would be cheaper to run maglev, but as far as operating it once the infrastructure was in place, then I believe the major limiting factor (yes, I am amending my previous opinion) would still be cost of generating electricity. Other factors would be maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure, rolling stock, wages, etc., etc., etc. <br /> <br />I believe that unless the population of the U.S. decides that it's too expensive to drive or fly to their destinations, they will not support maglev. Since most of us are in love with the car, and compared to the rest of the world, our gas prices are fairly low, I doubt that train travel will become popular. But, that's another discussion somewhere on this forum.
