California is actually putting in "high speed" rail, but my understanding is it's far behind schedule and uses old technology.

It‘s worth noting that new is not necessarily better. Maglev is extremely rare because standard high speed rail can boost existing rail services; for example, TGV trains use the legacy rail network to reach Nice. With a maglev rail system anywhere that isn‘t directly connected requires a transfer.
