The general feasibility, as well as the control aspects of a specific proposal for a gyro-stabilized high-speed train, running on a single monorail below the vehicle cent of gravity, and comprised of a standard passenger car mounted on pairs of angled wheels running on the single rail is discussed. The expected application is to inter-city passenger transportation, e.g., Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto corridor, at speeds in the order of 150 mph. Pneumatic tire suspension is considered, along with the various safety and economic aspects of system implementation. A comparison of the proposed monorail system with the high speed steel-wheel railway and the tracked air cushion vehicle. (Author)
