Looks like the Maglev trains have been in the plans for almost ten years with the Washington-Baltimore being the first phase! This will be ran by a JR Central(privately run company was state owned) in Japan.

Metro construction of the silver line in Northern Virginia around Tysons Corner is hindering business in the area. Seems to me they should have thought about this before construction started!
The first phase of the new silver line subway is scheduled to open in 2013! Phase 2 is scheduled to open 2016 to IAD and Loundon County!
