There was an RFP that was released for a maglev demo in L.A. (twice!), but 
ultimately never got awarded. Maybe someday.

[EVDL] Japan showcases really, really fast … whoa, WTF was that?! • The Register

I don't remember if trains fall within the limits of discussion set forth by 
the charter or not...but, either way, this is *way* cool news about an electric 
vehicle:

I have no idea how practical or economical it might be for Japan or the States. 
I don't care. I just want to live in a world where these things connect all the 
major cities, with trains spaced no more than 20-30 minutes apart!

And, why, yes. I _do_ want a pony, now that you mention it. How'd you guess?
