Building a road of any type along South Carolina coast is rather impractical because of the considerable about of wetlands that would be impacted.  That's why I-95 is so far inland.  I'd suggest Raleigh-Columbia-Savannah instead of Raleigh-Charleston-Savannah.

 I also doubt that transcontinental mag-levs will prove useful.  Over long distances there are other forms of transport that are either cheaper or faster.  Mag-lev has potential as a medium range transport where the hassles of plane travel make it competeive.

Except that in low-density areas there isn't enough traffic to make them profitable.  I can't see any good reason to build, for example, the b2 line west of Minneapolis.

Yea.

I appreciate Hugh's attempt to get a line to Albuquerque, but now is not the time for that. Smiley

But how else can you make the left turn at Albuquerque?
