Please, do tell more about this? ;)
Great photo!

That is really cool. We need those in the USA. Thank you for sharing.
|
While the picture is nice, it's the story behind it that impressed me the most. Thanks a ton for posting such interesting stuff Graham!

Gee, 268 MPH, you think that's sumpin'? Why, to go the same distance to my airport it takes me an hour and a half. That's 'bout 4.7 MPH. My point is, can that thang go as slow? Bet not!

So if we didn't bail out Wall Street we could have had 700 of these trains???
Nice backup materials Graham.

Even with that aerodynamic shape, it looks like you can still catch a lot of bugs at 268 mph :) Thanks for the picture and info.

I agree with these comments. The cost of this system will eventually come down. In the meantime we have conventional rail. Too bad we have to bale out the airline, auto and banking community when dollar for dollar we could get so munch more from the railroad industry.
