Interesting information on maglev's, http://gis.fra.dot.gov/Content3.asp?P=200 <br /> <br />Seems, in addition to high speed maglev trains running between cities, they are also looking into frieght operations using maglevs. Could it be that in 50 years we will abandon diesels and rails and switch to maglev's? seems so, if you read the reports and how much their funding into this. <br /> <br />Seem's several fo the projects are looking to <i>Transrapid International</i>, out of Germany, to supply the technology needed. http://www.transrapid.de/en/index.html . A nice system that could easily be adapted to US uses, and they can climb a 10% grade, talk about crossing the mountains. Well, Guess the FRA's aware that something needs to be done soon, before the fosil fuels run out.
