Japan 7: Detail (c) Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
Energy-smart transportation could start with rethinking rail in America.
One early morning, as I waited on the platform of the Shinkansen, Japan's ultra-high-speed bullet train, I thought about how great it would be to have a magnetic levitation (maglev) train in the United States running from Miami to Boston, with stops at each major city. The engineering would most likely require an elevated track to ease the curves of the existing Amtrak line. So this might require a massive elevated platform running between the north and southbound lanes of I-95. We put a man on the moon, so almost anything is possible. The advanced Shinkansen technology in the early 1990s delivered tremendous speed and comfort, because the train floated given the polarization of the magnetic "levitation".

About Charlie Szoradi
I am pleased to share these graphics as well as the drawings from my travels around the world over the past three decades.
