The efficiency of the train depends entirely on the very low ROLLING
FRICTION of steel wheels on steel rail.  Rolling friction is caused
by the actual physical deformation of the wheel and rail material.

Is titanium just as hard, or harder, than the steel alloy currently
used?  If not, then titanium wheels would only produce more rolling
friction.
