Maglev Trains in Real Life

The “Pennsylvania High-Speed Maglev Project”, a 54-mile long stretch from the Pittsburg international airport to the city of Greensburg and then maybe connecting it to Philadelphia, which would reduce travel time from 6 hours by car to less then 2 hours by train.


The 110-mile “Atlanta-Chattanooga Maglev” would connect the two cities, while adding stops along the way. Upon completion it is estimated that a total of 11,00 would use the train daily. Currently the construction of such a train would be $6-$9 billion.
