Solar-powered Hydrogen train project planned for Michigan state

Talks are on for a proposed project of building a solar and hydrogen powered light railway MagLev system from Detroit to Lansing, Michigan. The Interstate Traveler Company LLC is dealing with it and says it will use only private investors and not state money but is waiting for permission by the state. The hydrogen train, called hyrail or hydrail (how obvious) will use its maglev power upon stainless steel tracks to accelerate to 200 mph. The rail train will carry passengers and freight as well and can also transport various liquid and vapor based fuels, electricity, liquid waste and potable water. Fiber optics will also travel along the railway system adding another benefit to the system.

The project is expected to cost around $15 million per mile to build and if all goes well, the hyrail project will begin by 2010.
