To minimize the impact on the surrounding communities and environment, the train’s first phase will run mainly in deep underground tunnels and in overhead viaducts along the existing Baltimore-Washington Parkway transportation corridor. zcu.io/q1Dg

Great that SCMaglev found a solution to get rid of the gas powered on-board generator. What will they now use for on-board backup power? Batteries just like Transrapid?

Correction: the Transrapid 09 photo proofs progress continued after 2006 . Of course JR Maglev uses more energy, it runs in tunnels and 2 x faster than conventional Shinkansen, but it still beats flying and operational costs! And why not mention the US Northeast Maglev project??
