Amtrak 2125
Amtrak Maglev Rail 2125 Today's #30DaysMapChallenge , is to create a “ Map from 2125 ” - imagining what maps might look like a century from now. For this challenge I created Amtrak Maglev Rail 2125 , a speculative map of the United States showing a network of high-speed maglev rail lines, with moving “trains” that visualize travel in real-time across the country. Concept The map simulates a futuristic rail network where passengers can travel at extreme speeds of around 400 mph. Each rail line is represented as a neon-colored line, and glowing circles mark stations. Trains travel back and forth along these lines, leaving a visible trail that fades, giving the impression of continuous motion. The simulation is not just visual: it incorporates real-world geography and distances. Travel time is approximated based on high-speed maglev trains, so a trip from Washington, DC to Seattle, for instance, takes about 5.5 hours in the simulation, assuming a top speed of around 400 mph.
