so there were plans to built a high speed maglev train between dc and baltimore or pittsburgh and the airport as a test.....if it had been built in dc/baltimore, the trip would have only taken 15-20 minutes (probably would cost an arm and leg though)...however the head of the board overseeing the project was none other than arlan spector from PA...so yeah, you guessed it, pittsburgh/pittsburgh airport got the project.
i used to live in the dc area...now i live in baltimore (in the city)...i love it much more than dc.
they are supposed to be extending the light rail from camden yards out to patterson park...that would make it much easier to get to fells point and canton
