Note: Claims have not been verified by DFWRCC or Texas Rail editors


120-mph Non-stop Passenger, Automobile & Cargo Service in Single System over Existent Highway Rights of Way
Low-cost alternate to costly projects such as Texas Corridor Plan

* High-speed, inter-city MegaRail can carry most inter-city passenger, cargo and automobile traffic on a single pair of small, low-cost guideways installed over interstate highway rights of way.
* Avoids the very high cost of additional highways and railroads and right-of-way.
* High-speed, inter-city MegaRail is low-cost, low-risk and near-term.
* Rubber tires in enclosed rail tubes and electric propulsion for noise-free operation.
* Electrically powered vehicles with rail-supplied power are non-polluting.
* Heavy-duty CargoRail guideways can be added over same interstate right-of-ways to transport large trucks and containers should future need arise.
