Construction of a high-speed maglev train system between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., could begin as early as 2020, according to Maryland Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn.
Speaking before a state legislative committee, Rahn said that the NEPA analysis of potential routes for the 40-mile system are focusing on both sides of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, portions of which are maintained by the Maryland Department of Highways and the National Park Service. Construction would take between five to seven years, Rahn added.
