Nice one.

Lol, just can't stay out of them forests XD

It's New England, the whole place is forest, you can't escape it.

It was a project on the level of the American Interstate Highway system and is the primary means of travel for distances less than 500km.

As it should be!

What was your inspiration for their writing? Looks like a mix of Greek and written aboriginal language.

I wish I could give you a nice philosophical answer, but the truth is I just thought it looked cool. I used a combination of Greek letters, European letters, and made up a few. I learned to read by phoenetic, so it makes the most sense to me. No goofy letters with multiple sounds.

Thank the gods he didn't sleep on the train....

Hay NH not that flat. Even southern NH has some nice hilly country. A rail line from Boston to Manchester would have been neat. They tried to revive an old commuter line from Boston to Nashua back about 30 years ago. But the experiment ended after just a few months (Unless they restarted the attempt after I moved in the 80's)

Yeah, there'd be a lot of places in New England where the Electrorail can't go that fast due to terrain.

So they use the Japanese model (ppl with cardiac pacemakers have to stay out) rather than the German one...

Oh, the Japanese use one like this? I guess I'd seen it on Modern Marvels or something and had it lodged in the back of my imagination, and that's where the look of this came from. I didn't use any specific model though. Yeah, I guess the magnetic field would be bad news for pacemakers wouldn't it?

Actually it even looks like an old design, that was discarded for not beeing efficient. A bit like the 1979(!!!!) JNR ML500 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JNR_ML500_1.jpg ). Iirc this model uses a lot of Energy to create a magnetic field beneath itself on wich it floats as soon as it's fast enough.
What I was originally referring to, is that it does not wrap itself around the railway.

The recent japanese model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JR%E2%80%93Maglev ) has a high railway surrounding it, while the german transrapid ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transrapid ) has 2 skids wrapped around the railway (It's hard to see on the photo. Zoom).

Very interesting, never really looked these up. Thanks for the links.
