STEP#5: Build a High-Speed Intercontinental Transportation System + 10 Linear Cities
Imagine a journey where the American Dream Rail sweeps you across the continent, blending breathtaking speed with a fierce commitment to our planet’s future. This isn’t just transportation—it’s a revolution in motion, redefining how we connect cities, states, and even continents. Picture sleek, high-speed electric rail vehicles gliding on steel wheels, slicing through the air with aerodynamic precision. These marvels of engineering deliver unmatched performance, moving up to 60,000 pounds of freight per trailer and whisking 50,000 passengers per hour at velocities that leave airplanes in the dust. Four to six times more energy-efficient than planes, high-speed trains, or electromagnetic suspension trains, the Dream Rail sets a new standard for operational excellence.
This system doesn’t just move you—it captivates you. Passengers sink into plush seats, enveloped in comfort, as the world outside blurs by in serene silence, with noise levels whispering below 75 decibels. The ride is impossibly smooth, thanks to the rigid, high-strength rail structures that stand firm against time, terrorism, and vandalism. Built to last, these systems adapt to any climate or terrain, from icy tundras to sun-scorched deserts, all while sipping resources with minimal land acquisition and low material consumption.
The Dream Rail is a love letter to the environment. Its point-support design barely touches the earth, leaving natural ecosystems, animal migration paths, and soil hydrology untouched. No sprawling embankments or rail-sleeper grids here—just a whisper of infrastructure that preserves the wild beauty beneath. Zero exhaust fumes, no toxic tire or asphalt byproducts like soot, benzpyrene, or carcinogens poisoning the air. Forget anti-icing salts that harm soil and health. This system slashes reliance on non-renewable oil, coal, and gas, while curbing the hunger for metals and non-metallic materials. On a planetary scale, it’s a bold step toward a cleaner, greener tomorrow.
Now, envision this: an Above-Ground™ network soaring sixty feet high, linking Canada, the U.S., and Mexico in a seamless web of intercity, interstate, and intercontinental travel. Passengers and freight race along the same track, harmonized for efficiency, threading through vibrant new linear cities. These urban oases blend affordable living with the pulse of city life, nestled in nature’s embrace, with fast, eco-friendly transit right at your doorstep. It’s a vision of connectivity that doesn’t just transport—it transforms how we live.
This is no pipe dream—it’s a call to action. The American Dream Rail, with its high aesthetics, unparalleled safety, and relentless sustainability, is poised to replace the clunky, polluting systems of the past. It’s time to demand a future where speed, style, and stewardship collide. Sign the petition today—not for politics, but for progress. For your sake, for our planet, for the dream of a better way forward.
Linear cities are a visionary urban planning concept where cities are designed as elongated, narrow strips, often stretching along a central transportation spine like a high-speed rail or highway. Unlike traditional cities that sprawl outward in all directions, linear cities grow linearly, prioritizing efficient transit, accessibility, and sustainability. Imagine a vibrant urban corridor, only a few miles wide but extending for dozens or even hundreds of miles, with homes, workplaces, schools, and green spaces woven tightly around a fast, eco-friendly transit system like the American Dream Rail.
In this model, the transportation backbone—such as the Dream Rails Above-Ground™ network soaring sixty feet high—acts as the cities lifeline, moving passengers and freight at high speeds (up to 50,000 passengers per hour and 60,000 pounds per trailer). This ensures that every resident is just a short walk or ride from a transit hub, slashing reliance on cars and cutting pollution. The compact design minimizes land use, preserving surrounding natural ecosystems, while integrating urban buzz with nature’s tranquility. Affordable housing, shops, and community spaces cluster near transit stops, creating walkable, human-centered neighborhoods.
Linear cities tied to the Dream Rail amplify sustainability. The rail’s point-support structure barely touches the earth, leaving animal migration routes and soil hydrology intact, with zero exhaust fumes or toxic byproducts. Noise stays below 75 decibels, and minimal land acquisition means no sprawling destruction of landscapes. These cities can link major hubs—think Canada to Mexico via the U.S.—forming a seamless intercontinental network. Residents enjoy fast commutes, access to jobs, and a lifestyle that balances urban energy with green living.
This isn’t just a city—it’s a reimagined way of life. Linear cities, powered by the Dream Rail’s efficiency, adaptability, and environmental stewardship, offer a bold solution to urban sprawl, climate challenges, and disconnected communities. They’re a blueprint for a future where progress and the planet thrive together.
