Maglev Trains from N.Y. to D.C. Get Added Push

October 5, 2022 by Jeff Lewis

Traveling between New York and Washington D.C. takes three hours on Amtrak’s Acela. A new, futuristic high-speed rail concept could reduce that to an hour. Northeast Maglev would use magnetic levitation technology, which has less air resistance than typical trains. Bringing high-speed rail to the U-S has been a goal since the mid-1960s. Ian Rainey with Northeast Maglev, sheds some light on how this happened…

The first phase of the project is to be a short section of the line between Baltimore and Washington, D.C, predominantly underground. Rainey says the project will cost upwards of 10-Billion dollars, some from federal maglev deployment grants.
