A new transportation bill signed by President Bush to allocate $45 million for initialing the U.S.’s first maglev train. This train is projected to fetch people from Disneyland in Anaheim to Las Vegas in under two hours at up to 300 mph speed. As we know the Maglev train is expensive, The 5.5 miles long Japan’s Linimo maglev train asked for $380 million while the China’s Shanghai Maglev Train cost $1.3 billion for 19 miles, and so the $45 million is just enough to get things rolling at the beginning. No words on actual construction date yet but we shall see things moving on soon.
