Federal review of Baltimore-Washington high-speed maglev project moves ahead

A proposal to bring a high-speed maglev train system to the Washington region, which proponents say is key to addressing congestion along the Interstate 95 corridor, has reached a critical milestone.

The Federal Railroad Administration on Friday released a preliminary review of the project, laying out potential routes, as well as economic and environmental impacts of the train service that would move passengers between the nation’s capital and Baltimore in 15 minutes.
