They seek a rail line not affected by friction.

Maglev trains levitate above the guideway, eliminating wheel–rail contact and the rolling friction that limits conventional trains. That enables higher speeds and lower mechanical wear. (Maglevs still require electricity and suffer air resistance and electromagnetic losses.)
