High Tech Ice Train Breaks Sound Barrier  (SAT PAR News Jun 12, 2014) In an initial test the Ice Train made by the company Crealev formally know for its maglev train designs has well exceeded the sound barrier at 1.37 Mach or 1037 MPH. The Ice Train true to its name has an underside of the train that always has 1/4 inch of ice generated by coolers, this runs on 3 rails that also have ice on them. Underground the temperature is a constant 55 degrees, this reduces the energy needed to maintain temperature as would be required at the surface. Maglev technology is used to keep the train centered and stable, but little energy is required for that. The test was conducted in a 10 mile tunnel located in Baltimore County, Maryland. The tunnel was used by earlier trains has since shut down due to changes in larger train cargo size. The backers of the project hope this will be the answer to commuting From Baltimore and surrounding counties to Washington DC. To decrease air resistance large fans keep the air moving 300 MPH in the direction of the train, passengers use docking platforms which avoid the wind. Governor Martin O'Malley was present at the test and expressed his enthusiasm, "This is what we have been waiting for, seriously fast travel using low energy technology. Now we move on to generating investment and state support to expand the concept to commuting reality."
