Orlando maglev
Rail line in Orlando, Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A proposed US$400 million magnetic levitation train system would have connected the Orlando International Airport and the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with a stop at the Florida Mall.[2][3] The privately funded 13.8-mile (22.2 km) train line would be built by American Maglev Technology and was once expected to be operational by 2017.[4][5][6][7] If completed, the train would have been the first commercial maglev system in North America.[8]

The plan was canceled in late 2015, when the Orlando International Airport board voted unanimously to begin negotiations for right-of-way for a new light-rail system to connect to International Drive and the convention center, rather than a maglev.[9]
