Washington and Baltimore? Massive joke. People will continue to ride MARC for this journey of less than forty miles. |

The goal is to be the first part of a new Northeast Corridor. This minimum operating segment is enough to not burn too much cash on its own. |

Eh, maglev really doesn't make much sense unless they're gonna go evacuated tube and really cut down on energy consumption. Conventional rail can achieve the same speeds, and to go much faster results in energy consumption going through the roof. The Chuo Shinkansen is already mostly tunnelled, so they may as well fill in some of the gaps en route and use it as an ETT system for some length of the route to achieve even higher speeds. Hell, a cut and cover tube with virtually no radiated noise might be the ultimate in being NIMBY-friendly transport.And the EDS system with its requirement for superconductors is a dead end. Go with an EMS system, or better yet, an inductive lift system using halbach arrays. |

California's IOS is the most important part of the system outside of the two mountain crossings. It's the part of the line which is actually high speed rail. It's where the HSTs will earn their keep. They cannot construct the two mountain crossings by themselves, absolutely no business case would support that level of investment, and the two bookends would be nothing more than extraordinarily expensive commuter railroads if they were built at this point (and NIMBY pressure would likely kill the project).Besides which, the IOS can quite easily be connected to San Francisco over Altamont Pass to provide a 4 or 5 hour trip from SF to Bakersfield. Get the HSL over Tehachapi and we could be looking at a 6 hour trip between LA and SF by the early 2020s. |
