Not the Hungarian State Railways, but something to run on Budapest-Vienna-Bratislava line with 1200 km/hour

According to hvg.hu, 32 metres and 5 tonnes are the measurements of the structure, which was dreamt of by Elon Musk, to run as the high-speed Hyperloop train, and which was shown to the public a few days ago.

It has been almost two years since Hyperloop Transportation Technologies surprised everyone by announcing that Elon Musk’s Hyperloop train would be built in Central-Europe. It is probably a much bigger surprise that Hungary is also part of the project, which leads to the establishment of the sci-fi train on the Bratislava-Vienna-Budapest line.

Since then, less could be heard about the project, but it does not mean, that experts are not working constantly in the background. In the spring of 2017, even photos were shown about the construction process of the train’s passenger capsules.

There has been another big milestone reached in the project recently, because they presented the first, full-sized capsule, which will take passengers with the speed of 1200 km/hour.

Bloomberg stated that after the presentation the capsule started its journey to Toulouse, where the Hyperloop’s test track is being constructed. According to experts, by 2019 the train will be able to take the first passengers.
