National Corridors Initiative Inc
The National Corridors Initiative exists to further the rapid development of practical, attainable High-Speed Rail transportation. Our initial efforts have involved the successful [thus far] securing of funds to permit modernization of the Northeast Corridor;
we plan to continue these efforts, and to create similar Initiatives or help to sustain those that already exist, in other Corridors in the United States and Canada, which would lend themselves to modernization / electrification using the National Corridors Initiative as the vehicle to do so.

Neue Bahntechnik Paderborn
In order to meet future demands, the researchers at the University of Paderborn propose a modular railway system that combines a sophisticated undercarriage with the advantages of the Transrapid system while using the existing railway tracks. The combination of information science, sensors, and actuators allows to design an entirely novel railway system.

Transrapid International
The Transrapid is the first fundamental innovation in railroad engineering since construction of the first railroads. The superspeed maglev system has no wheels, axles, transmissions, or pantographs. Instead of wheels and rails, the Transrapid uses non-contact electromagnetic levitation, guidance, and propulsion systems -wear-free electronics instead of mechanical components.
