A Maglev train would be more logical between San Jose and LA.
- jahnu 12y agoBoston to Washington with stops in NY and Philadelphia would also make some sense. Save a lot of flying.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoLos Angeles and Las Vegas makes a great deal of sense too, and would be a shorter (and MUCH cheaper) route.
- valarauca1 12y agoIt would make sense it would also be very diffuclt. Maglev's expect flat and straight. The Baker Grade outside of Baker (small town with the Greek Resutrant and literally nothing else, you've ate their if you went to death valley). Is one of the stepest grades in the nation, rising ~6,000ft in ~19 miles. Overall the course will drop you as low as 100ft above sea level, and see you rise to 6,400ft. With minor peaks and vallies dropping as low as 500ft, rising back to 4,000ft. Source: A lot of automakers vet transmission designs on that highway.
