Ok....So what do you do once the lines connect with their underground portions? I would guess either change trains, or continue the maglev throughout the line. Here's an idea... How about rebuilding the underground portions to be a sort of "dual use" system in which both maglev and traditional trains run along the same right of way? That way the transition from traditional rail to maglev could be done over many years, as funds and needs dictate. Eventually - maybe 50 or 100 years from now the whole system would be maglev. Of course, by that time, a still newer technology would have probably prevailed. |
