Summary: magnetic levitation would probably significantly lower roadbed wear and tear.
Xref: mnetor comp.society.futures:183 rec.railroad:878


	one benefit of magnetic levitation would probably be
	significantly lower roadbed wear.  the primary function
	of "tracks" would be to correct lateral excursions.
	fuel savings might be significant because the major source
	of friction would now be wind drag.
