re: #75 OldLineTexan

You disagree, and then go off on a tangent. Is the line you mention MAGLEV? Does it need to be? Or would a less sexy train suffice?

The lines that are shovel ready are MAGLEV and you could be correct, and maybe that’s why the funding is non specific to MAGLEV. If the project could be converted to old fashioned rail, maybe it will be. I still vote for sexy, it’s time we caught up with the rest of the world IMHO.
In a perfect world, we’d learn how to build them in the USA.
