The project envisions use of a superconducting magnetic levitation (SCMAGLEV) system, which runs at speeds far higher than any other train, to connect and transform the region in a way nothing else can.
Fast Safe Green Guinness-certified Magnetic forces and guideway Remove cars from the road, as the World’s walls make system reducing fuel consumption Fastest Train free from derailment and CO2 emissions Who We Are Baltimore-Washington Rapid Rail, LLC (BWRR) is a Maryland-based, 100% US-owned company formed to develop the Superconducting Maglev project.
