His countenance receiving such news would likely be sanguine compared to the
pallor that would befall him upon news of a train track instead of a road. 

Noise is usually the main objection of the NIMBYs.  Trains are much louder
than roads.  A maglev train like Transrapid is about the same sound pressure
as a road.  ETT (see www.et3.com ) uses less than 1/50th of the energy per
passenger as a train, and Maglev is 128 times more sound pressure than the
virtually silent ETT.  The capacity of ETT is 10 times greater than a road
or train, and much faster.
