The document discusses the environmental issues and dangers associated with conventional trains, highlighted by recent derailments that resulted in fatalities and injuries. It compares these trains to maglev trains, which are more eco-friendly, faster, and less affected by weather, though their construction is costly and requires new infrastructure. The author suggests the need for further research and development in the field of transportation.

13. Maglev Trains

16. Maglevs are more
ecofriendly than
conventional trains

18. Weather has no affect on
the usage of a maglev

21. 50-100 Million
dollars per mile built
Estimated 4.9 Billion
Dollars for
Construction

23. New infrastructure has to be built

24. Conventional Trains are bad
• Destruction to environment
• Possibility of derailment
• Too old for itself
Maglev Trains are Good
• Eco friendliness
• Fast travel time
• Can move 24/7, no weather delays
• Further research can better other fields
