> It's also build on pylons High-speed rail can also be built on pylons.[1] The hyperloop white paper argued that being able to build on pylons would be an advantage of hyperloop over conventional rail: > The key advantages of a tube vs. a railway track are that it can be built above the ground on pylons and it can be built in prefabricated sections that are dropped in place and joined with an orbital seam welder. By building it on pylons, you can almost entirely avoid the need to buy land by following alongside the mostly very straight California Interstate 5 highway, with only minor deviations when the highway makes a sharp turn. The author seemed completely unaware that conventional rail can also use pylons, and can (and does) use prefabricated elements. The whole white paper seemed terribly uninformed about the realities of high-speed rail. 1. http://img2.chinadaily.com.cn/images/201801/02/5a4b62cea31008cfb2e95604.jpeg http://img2.chinadaily.com.cn/images/201801/02/5a4b62cea3100...
