Maglev train: Difference between revisions

Such a system existed in [[New Mombasa]], [[Earth]], with a maglev system under the jurisdiction of the [[Mombasa Transit Authority]] providing transportation throughout the area. This system was one of the first targets of [[Covenant]] forces when they [[Battle of Earth|attacked Earth]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', level ''[[Terminal (Level)|Terminal]]''</ref>

Another MagLev system existed around the [[Chicago|Chicago Greater Industrial Zone]]. This system used the same elevated tracks once occupied by older, less advanced trains of Chicago's old elevated railway.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', page 45</ref>

Inner Colony world [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani System]] had a MagLev rail system around the entire planet and centered around main population center [[Casbah]]. This system formed a core part of the colony's transportation grid. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[UNSC Marine]]s had to place [[ARGUS]] bomb-sniffing devices around the stations around the planet to insure that [[Insurrectionist]]s did not try to sabotage the network.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', page 12</ref>

Outer Colony world [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi System]] also has a MagLev system around the entire planet, centered on its major population center of [[Utgard]]. However, unlike most other rail networks, Harvest's trains were used exclusively to transport freight, not passengers. Harvest had seven main train lines, which led to the seven [[Space Elevators]] on the planet that connected to the [[Tiara]]. The trains carried crops and equipment from the outlying areas to the elevators, where they could be loaded into [[freighters]] and sent to other colony worlds.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', page 76</ref>
