WSYX-TV Columbus, OH:
 

Columbus closer to getting Hyperloop One train line to Chicago

 

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Trips from Columbus to Chicago could become much quicker in the future. Columbus is a semifinalist in the Hyperloop One Global Challenge. The experimental train could travel to Chicago in just 30 minutes compared to the current six-hour drive.

 

Columbus is one of 35 semifinalists from around the world.

 

The Hyperloop One is just a theory at the moment. It would use opposing magnets to make the train levitate and then create a vacuum to shoot the passenger car through a tube, much like the money tube used in most bank drive-thrus.

Hyperloop One announced the winners of its Hyperloop One Global Challenge to identify the strongest new Hyperloop routes in the world. Following a close assessment of the proposals by a panel of experts in infrastructure, technology and transportation, ten teams from five countries were chosen from among hundreds of applicants.

 

Hyperloop One will commit meaningful business and engineering resources and work closely with each of the winning teams/routes to determine their commercial viability. Additionally, as a direct result of the Global Challenge, Hyperloop One and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), with support from AECOM, will enter a public private partnership to begin a feasibility study in Colorado.

I hope Miami-Orlando gets axed, because that route would cut into Brightline's passenger load.
