Once
upon a time……
(an engineering story*)
( maybe, just maybe, save the Greater Phoenix Area a billion dollars and provide faster, more convenient service than the proposed Valley Connections Light Rail).

Footnote: *What is an "engineering story"?
This is a little fiction that will help you understand how engineers think and what is going on in their brains. When practical engineers are confronted by proposed "transit solutions" that seem to cost way too much hard earned tax payer's money and which also makes claims for benefits to the local citizens that are illogical and outrageous, the engineer's three pounds of gray matter starts churning away. Are there better ways to move people around a city that don't defy physics and won't be so overly expensive?
We think you will like this presentation. It is fun and easy to understand. And once you understand this simplified Choo Choo system it will help you grasp several of the important innovations in the high speed SkyTran system.
