Amtrak ended service in 1995; not enough customers? What makes you think people are going to ride this new train?
Concerning the mag-lev in Shanghai: it runs from downtown Shanghai to the international airport in Pudong; I'm told it's about 16 miles and a one way ticket costs 200 Chinese dollars, about $30 US. Being from LA, and having riden the Disneyland monorail since 1957, I'd gladly pay just to ride it one time but... the mag-lev is always down for repair. My wife is from China so we visit every year. I read it operated for the Olympics, but by October, when we went to Shanghai, it was out of service again. If they can't keep 16 miles working, how will they keep it working all the way to Vegas?
Mag-lev, magnetic levitation, which is electricity creating a magnetic field, which also creates radiation. And yes, the people who live along the path of the 16 miles are suing the Communist government. So, how close do you want this electromagnetic field next to your home?
