These exciting plans for a high speed rail service will get you from Atlanta to Chattanooga in no time at all!
A possible high-speed rail system is being planned, connecting Chatanooga and Atlanta. News surrounding the topic show this project has been a focus area for the last few years. The train, reaching 180 mph would get you from one city to the next in no time.
The potential HSGT under consideration are the magnetic levitation and the steel-wheeled, both with certain benefits over the other options.
