Southern Transcontinental (GCC)
The Gulf Coast Corridor, a New Southern Pastime
The Southern Transcontinental, representing the rail system in the Gulf Coast Corridor (GCC), aims to serve the southernmost regions of the United States. This route doubles as an emergency evacuation method, as it aims to be both elevated when above ground and buried when below ground. Many of the natural weather events that make rail transit difficult if not impossible (as many Amtrak routes have been canceled and gulf coast tracks washed out) are mitigated through the paradigmatic change proposed within the Maglev and infrastructure corridor framework.
The Southern Transcontinental connects the following cities:
Los Angeles, CA
Phoenix, AZ
- Tucson, AZ
El Paso, TX / Ciudad Juarez, MX
Odessa, TX
San Antonio, TX
Houston, TX
New Orleans, LA
Mobile, AL
- Tallahasee, FL
