I'll get downvoted by the Musk fans, but the NY-DC Hyperloop corridor failed because Hyperloop doesn't work, is non existent, and that corridor is already served by the only profitable train line in the US, the Amtrak DC -> Boston train. It made no financial sense to do this. Bureaucracy is just an excuse for yet another Musk pipe dream to pump stock.
For whoever cares to learn more, watch Adamsomething on youtube and his many takedowns on how stupid the entire project is.

Wasn't a train line in California cancelled because Musk's Hyperloop was going to do it? What ever happened to that?
My impression so far is that hyperloop is simply a scam.
