Businesspeople from Japan and the United States have organized an event to promote the construction of a magnetic levitation railway for the US East Coast. The Central Japan Railway Company, or JR Tokai, and Northeast Maglev, a US firm in charge of the railway's development, held the event in New York on Wednesday.

The high-speed train is expected to travel the 360-kilometer distance between New York and Washington in about one hour.

Environmental assessment is currently underway for a 65-kilometer section between Baltimore and Washington with subsidies from the federal government.

JR Tokai has been building the levitating train line that will connect Shinagawa in Tokyo with Nagoya, central Japan.

The event was attended by about 100 people, including officials of the US government, New York state, and local members of the US Congress.

JR Tokai Chairperson Tsuge Koei said the opening of a magnetic levitation railway will mean a lot to the United States, where airways and expressways are heavily congested. He went on to say that he is committed to fully backing the US project.

Nobody will ever build anything that does not make a profit with overnight SC maglev container trains reducing the daytime fare below planes.
