While many are in favor of the proposed Northeast Maglev train, Maryland leaders say they should not have to foot the $10 billion bill.
So far, there hasn't been any ask from the project's developer, Baltimore-Washington Rapid Rail for taxpayer dollars. With a new proposal, lawmakers are planning on keeping it that way.
Traveling more than 300 mph, the Maglev train would essentially get passengers to New York in about an hour. A ride from Washington D.C. to Baltimore would take just 15 minutes.
