MD Transit Rules Out Two Possible Maglev Routes

"The Washington-Baltimore region is competing with Pittsburgh for almost $1 billion in federal money to build the nation's first Maglev train system. Maglev, short for magnetic levitation, is an electromagnetic force that can propel trains as fast as 310 miles per hour...Advocates say the environmentally friendly Maglev system will do nothing less than revolutionize the way people travel...Critics say Maglev is a prohibitively expensive form of transportation for commuters that would require an entirely new infrastructure."
