Virgin Kitty is starting it's own line with three maglevs purchased from the long-bankrupt Shanghai Airport Maglev service that went bankrupt in 2032. The Five-City Connector will travel mostly through the cities of Chicago, Fort Wayne, Columbus, Morgantown, and Pittsburgh.
The line is a total of 551.3 miles long, and takes just over two hours to travel the entire line from Chicago to Pittsburgh and vice versa.
8 minutes from Chicago to South Chicago (speed limited in city limits to 100 mph)
6 minutes from South Chicago to Gary (speed limited in city limits to 100 mph)
6 minutes from Gary to Michigan City
7 minutes from Michigan City to South Bend
8 minutes from South Bend to Warsaw
4 minutes from Warsaw to Columbia City
4 minutes from Columbia City to Fort Wayne
5 minutes from Fort Wayne to Decatur
11 minutes from Decatur to Lima
12 minutes from Lima to Marysville
6 minutes from Marysville to Columbus
22 minutes from Colombus to Parkersburg
17 minutes from Parkesburg to Pleasant Valley
4 minutes from Pleasant Valley to Morgantown
14 minutes from Morgantown to Pittsburgh
Two of the maglevs will be offering back-and-forth services on the main line, but the third maglev will operate only to the cities listed in bold.

Your line goes through quite a few houses. I don't think they'll appreciate literally getting hit by a freight train.
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.
