last I heard, Las Colinas, Texas was working on that very idea. they WERE building a train from Las Colinas out to DF/W. don't know if the idea is still in play, but if not, it should be.
the biggest problem I can see is that most people in the United States are still very much MARRIED to their cars. the idea of parking the car and taking a 300 MPH elevated mag lev train might never get off the ground. they'd rather tailgate my a** at 70 MPH and then pass me as if their a** is on fire. cars are today's equivalent of the horse. every man has to have his horse.
